Hist. lib. iii. c. 5. to which they all refer, stands thus. “Moenia ejus collegere ambitu, Impp. Censs.que Vespasianis, anno “conditae dcccxxvi, passus xiii.m.cc.” Lipsius adds another x, and makes the circuit ten miles larger: But this insertion has with very good reason been rejected by the succeeding critics.
