Quotation Anno ab urbe condita CCCLXIIII, quem annum sicut grauissimum propter ignotam sibi captiuitatem Roma persensit ita magnificum propter insolitam pacem Graecia habuit, eo siquidem tempore, quo Galli Romam captam incensamque tenuerunt ac uendiderunt, Artaxerxes rex Persarum discedere ab armis et quiescere in pace uniuersam Graeciam per legatos praecepit, denuntians contradictorem pacis bello inpetendum.
Translation 364 years after the foundation of the City, a year which weighed heavily on Rome because of her enslavement, something which she had never known before, but which Greece considered magnificent because of the peace, something which she had hardly known before, while the Gauls occupied and sold a captive Rome reduced to ashes, Artaxerxes, the king of the Persians, through his envoys ordered all of Greece to desist from fighting and live at peace, warning that he would wage war on anyone who broke the peace.
