Sed meminerīmus prōvinciam istam et praecipuē eās cīvitātēs eius modī factiōnibus esse vexātās. Quodcumque nōmen ex quācumque causā dederīmus iīs, quī in idem contractī fuerint, hetaeriae eaeque brevī fīent. [2] Satius itaque est comparārī ea, quae ad coercendōs ignēs auxiliōesse possint, admonērīque dominōs praediōrum, ut et ipsī inhibeant ac, sī rēs poposcerit, adcursū populī ad hoc ūtī.
