• αʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 23.20:

Casilinum oppidum redditum Campanis est, firmatum septingentorum militum de exercitu Hannibalis praesidio, ne, ubi Poenus inde abscessisset, Romani oppugnarent.

The town of Casilinum was returned to the Campanians, and supported by the protection of seven hundred soldiers from Hannibal's army, so that the Romans wouldn't attack when the Carthaginian left the place.
