AVlus Posthumius Albinus a lieutenant generall, being the Admirall of a fleet, was upon an infa∣mous imputation of betraying his soldiors massacred by his own army. L. Cornelius Sylla a lieu∣tenant overthrew the Samnites in fight, and woon two campes of theirs. Cn. Pompeius received the Vestines upon their submission. L. Porcius the Consull, after fortunate successe in battaile, and that he had sundrie times discomfited the Samnites, as he assaied to force their campe lost his life: which ac∣cident gave away the victorie of that battaile to the enemie. Cosconius and Luceius overcame the Sam∣nites in battaile, slew Marius Egnatius a most noble and renowned commaunder of the enemies, and had many of their townes surrendred up into their hands. L. Sylla tamed the Hirpines, and defeated the Samnites in many battailes; and certaine States submitted unto him: who having atchieved so worthie and brave exploites before his Consulship (as seldome any other man besides, the like) repaired to Rome for to sue to be Consull.
