Dein cum quidam, seu spiritu divino tactus seu iuvenali ioco, ‘Visne Romam ire, Iuno?’ dixisset, adnuisse ceteri deam conclamaverunt. Inde fabulae adiectum est vocem quoque dicentis velle auditam; motam certe sede sua parvi molimenti adminiculis, sequentis modo accepimus levem ac facilem tralatu fuisse, integramque in Aventinum aeternam sedem suam quo vota Romani dictatoris vocaverant perlatam, ubi templum ei postea idem qui voverat Camillus dedicavit.

proficiscentes Gallos ab urbe ad Romanam experiendam virtutem fortuna ipsa Ardeam ubi Camillus exsulabat duxit ; qui maestior ibi fortuna publica quam sua cum dis hominibusque accusandis senesceret, indignando mirandoque ubi illi viri essent qui secum Veios Faleriosque cepissent, qui alia bella fortius semper quam felicius gessissent repente audit Gallorum exercitum adventare atque de eo pavidos Ardeates consultare. nec secus quam divino spiritu tactus cum se in mediam contionem intulisset, abstinere suetus ante talibus conciliis, "Ardeates" inquit, "veteres amici, novi etiam cives mei, quando et vestrum beneficium ita tulit et fortuna hoc eguit mea, nemo vestrum condicionis meae oblitum me huc processisse putet; sed res ac periculum commune cogit quod quisque possit in re trepida praesidii in medium conferre. Et quando ego vobis pro tantis vestris in me meritis gratiam referam, si nunc cessavero? aut ubi usus erit mei vobis, si in bello non fuerit? Hac arte in patria steti et invictus bello, in pace ab ingratis civibus pulsus sum. Vobis autem, Ardeates, fortuna oblata est et pro tantis populi Romani beneficiis quanta ipsi meministis – nec enim exprobanda apud memores sunt – gratiae referendae et huic urbi decus ingens belli ex hoste communi pariendi, qui effuso agmine adventat. (43.6- 44.3)

Si vobis in animo est tueri moenia vestra nec pati haec omnia Galliam fieri, prima vigilia capite arma frequentes, me sequimini ad caedem, non ad pugnam. Nisi vinctos somno velut pecudes trucidandos tradidero, non recuso eundem Ardeae rerum mearum exitum quem Romae habui". (44.7)
