although they were in no case well disposed[62] toward each other
through factional differences, he set them still more at variance.
There would have been even greater disturbance, had not some of the
Marsi been detected mixing with the foraging parties of the Romans and
entering the ramparts under the guise of allies, where they took
cognizance of speeches and actions in the camp and reported them to
their own men. In consequence of this discovery they ceased to be
angry with the patricians. (Valesius, p. 641.)

information" is a conjecture of Tafel and Gros; and "well disposed
toward each other" of Reiske, who compares Book Fifty, chapter 16, of
Dio.]

2. ¶Marius suspected Lupus, although a relative, and through jealousy
and hope of being appointed consul even a seventh time as the only man
who could bring success out of the existing situation, bade him delay:
their men, he said, would have provisions, whereas the other side
would not be able to hold out for any considerable time when the war
was in their country. (Valesius, ib.)

3. ¶The Picentes subdued those who would not join their rebellion and
abused these men in the presence of their friends and from the heads
of their wives they tore out the hair along with the skin. (Valesius,
ib.)
