Notes

Note 1

At that time a war was going on with the Sabines. They had just been defeated and were deliberating a last maximum effort against Rome (which subsequently failed). The vote was for war, but a leading dissenter, Attius Clausus, with "a large retinue of clients" (showing that he was a wealthy landowner patronizing numerous freedmen) fled to Rome ab Inregillo, "from Inregillus" or "Inregillum." The nature of the latter place is not known; it could be just "from the vicinity of Lake Regillus" but more likely it was a settlement, now lost. Suetonius calls it ex Regillis oppido Sabinorum, "from Regilla (plural) a town of the Sabines." In that case inregillum would be "from the vicinity of Regillum."
