[86]
And now a multitude is
sought out, by which those towns are to be peopled. For I have said before that leave is
given by the law for them to occupy with their settlers whatever municipalities and whatever
old colonies they choose. They will fill the municipality of Cales; they will overwhelm Teanum; they will extend a chain of garrisons
through Atella, and Cumae, and Naples,
and Pompeii, and Nuceria; and the whole of
Puteoli, which is at present a free city, in
the full enjoyment of its ancient rights and liberties, they will occupy with a new people,
and with a foreign body of men.
