the enemy which had come near the camp:

people has been released from the most disgraceful and cruel slavery by the
valor, and military skill, and prudence, and firmness, and perseverance, and
greatness of mind and good fortune of these their generals. And decrees that, as
they have preserved the republic, the city, the temples of the immortal gods,
the property and fortunes and families of all the citizens, by their own
exertions in battle, and at the risk of their own lives; on account of these
virtuous and gallant and successful achievements, Caius Pansa and Aulus Hirtius,
the consuls, imperators, one or both of them, or, in their absence, Marcus
Cornutus, the city praetor, shall appoint a supplication at all the altars for
fifty days.
