Saticula: (Festus, Gloss. Lat. p458 L)Saticula oppidum in Samnio captum est: quo postea coloniam deduxeruntTriumviri M. Valerius Corvus, Iunius Scaeva, P. Fluvius f Longus ex S. C. Kal.Ianuaris P. f Papirio Cursore, C. Iunio II Cos.Saticula: a town captured in Samnium, where afterward the Board of Three, M.Valerius Corvus, Iunius Scaeva, and P. Fluvius Longus led a colony by virtue ofthe senatus consultum on the kalends of January in the year P. Papirius Cursorand C. Iunius (bis) were consuls. (Trans. Coles)Minturnae and Sinuessa: (Livy 10.21.7-10)Turn de praesidio regionis depopulatae ab Samnitibus agitari coeptum; itaqueplacuit ut duae coloniae circa Vescinum et Falernum agrum deducerentur, una adostium Lirisfluuii, quae Minturnae appellata, altera in saltu Vescino, Falernumcontingente agrum, ubi Sinope dicitur Graeca urbsfuisse, Sinuessa deinde abcolonis Romanis appellata. Tribunis plebis negotium datum est, utplebei scitoiuberetur P. Sempronius praetor triumuiros in ea loca colonis deducendis creare;nee qui nomina darent facile inueniebantur, quia in stationem se prope perpetuaminfestae regionis, non in agros mitti rebantur. (Livy 10.21.7-10)The next question was the protection of the district which had been devastated bythe Samnites, and it was decided to settle bodies of colonists about the Vescinianand Falernian country. One was to be at the mouth of the Liris, now called thecolony of Menturna, the other in the Vescinian forest where it is contiguous withthe territory of Falernum. Here the Greek city of Sinope is said to have stood, andfrom this the Romans gave the place the name of Sinuessa. It was arranged thatthe tribunes of the plebs should get a plebiscite passed requiring P. Sempronius,the praetor, to appoint commissioners for the founding of colonies in those spots.But it was not easy to find people to be sent to what was practically a permanentoutpost in a dangerously hostile country, instead of having fields allotted to themfor cultivation.

P3 C)Boii sollicitatis Insubribus defecerunt, nee tarn ob ueteres inpopulum Romanumiras quam quod nuper circa Padum Placentiam Cremonamque colonias in agrumGallicum deductas aegre patiebantur. Itaque armis repente arreptis, in eumipsum agrum impetu facto tantum terroris ac tumultus fecerunt ut non agrestismodo multitudo sed ipsi triumuiri Romani, qui ad agrum uenerant adsignandum,diffisi Placentiae moenibus Mutinam confugerint, C. Lutatius, C. Seruilius, M.Annius. Lutati nomen haud dubium est; pro Annio Seruilioque M'. Acilium et C.Herennium habent quidam annales, alii P. Cornelium Asinam et C. PapiriumMasonem.
