virium Romanarum et incrementum laetissimum et tutela certissima, Furius Camillus, in urbe incolumitatem suam tueri non valuit, cuius ipse salutem stabilierat, felicitatem auxerat: a L. enim Appuleio tribuno plebis tamquam peculator Veientanae praedae reus factus duris atque, ut ita dicam, ferreis sententiis in exsilium missus est, et quidem eo tempore quo, optimo iuvene filio spoliatus, solaciis magis allevandus quam cladibus onerandus erat.
Furius Camillus, alike the happiest scion and surest safeguard of Roman power, could not protect his own survival in the city whose safety he had stabilized, whose felicity he had enhanced. Accused by Tribune of the Plebs L. Appuleius of embezzling the booty of Veii, he was sent by hard, I might say iron, votes into exile, and that at a time when robbed of his son, an excellent young man, he should have been relieved with solace rather than loaded with calamity.
