Erant
in

legiōne
fortissimī
virī,
centuriōnēs,
quī
prīmīs
ōrdinibus
appropinquārent,
T.
Pullō
et
L.
Vorēnus.
Hī
perpetuās
inter
sē
contrōversiās
habēbant,
quīnam
anteferrētur,
omnibusque
annīs

summīs
simultātibus
contendēbant.
Ex
hīs
Pullō,
cum
ācerrimē
ad
mūnītiōnēs
pugnārētur,
"Quid
dubitās,"
inquit,
"Vorēne?
aut
quem
locum
tuae
prō
laude
virtūtis
spectās?
Hic
diēs
dē
nostrīs
contrōversiīs
iūdicābit."
Haec
cum
dīxisset,
prōcēdit
extrā
mūnītiōnēs,
quaeque
pars

irrumpit.
Nē
Vorēnus

sed
omnium

subsequitur.
Tum
mediocrī

neque
dant
