as_o three_o maniple_n of_o the_o hastati_fw-la three_o of_o the_o principes_fw-la and_o three_o of_o the_o triarii_n as_o patricius_n in_o his_o paralleli_fw-la seem_v to_o affirm_v for_o so_o

a_o maniple_a of_o the_o principes_fw-la and_o a_o maniple_n of_o the_o triarii_n and_o so_o all_o the_o thirty_o maniple_n be_v include_v into_o ten_o cohort_n and_o every_o cohort_n be_v as_o a_o
