[10] ᾿εν δὲ τῇ μεσογαίᾳ Καπύη μέν ἐστιν ἡ μητρόπολις, κεφαλὴ τῷ ὄντι κατὰ τὴν ἐτυμότητα τοῦ ὀνόματος: τὰ γὰρ ἄλλα πολίχνια νομίζοιτ᾽ ἂν κατὰ τὴν σύγκρισιν πλὴν Τεάνου Σιδικίνου: καὶ γὰρ αὕτη ἀξιόλογος. κεῖται δ᾽ ἐπὶ τῇ ὁδῷ τῇ Ἀππίᾳ αὕτη τε καὶ τῶν ἄλλων αἱ ἐπὶ Βρεντέσιον ἄγουσαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς, Καλατία καὶ Καύδιον καὶ Βενεουεντόν: ἐπὶ δὲ Ῥώμης Κασιλῖνον ἵδρυται ἐπὶ τῷ Ὀυουλτούρνῳ ποταμῷ, ἐν ᾗ πολιορκούμενοι Πραινεστίνων ἄνδρες τετταράκοντα καὶ πεντακόσιοι πρὸς ἀκμάζοντα Ἀννίβαν ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον ἀντέσχον, ὥσθ᾽ ὑπὸ λιμοῦ διακοσίων δραχμῶν πραθέντος μυός, ὁ μὲν πωλήσας ἀπέθανεν, ἐσώθη δ᾽ ὁ πριάμενος. ἰδὼν δ᾽ αὐτοὺς πλησίον τοῦ τείχους σπείροντας γογγύλην ἐθαύμαζεν, ὡς ἔοικεν, ὁ Ἀννίβας τῆς μακροθυμίας, εἰ ἐλπίζοιεν τέως ἀνθέξειν ἕως τελεσφορήσειεν ἡ γογγύλη: καὶ δὴ περιγενέσθαι πάντας φασὶ πλὴν ἀνδρῶν ὀλίγων τῶν ἢ λιμῷ διαλυθέντων ἢ ἐν ταῖς μάχαις.
