From fugitives, of whom there was no lack even there, he learned that only certain alleys of the Trans-Tiber were burning, but that surely nothing could resist the fury of the conflagration, since people were spreading the fire purposely, and permitted no one to quench it, declaring that they acted at command.
Menekültek itt is bőven akadtak, s ezektől Vinicius megtudta, hogy a Transtiberisen csak néhány utcára terjedt át a tűzvész, de bizonyos, hogy ez a városrész sem menekül meg, mert vannak, akik szándékosan gyújtogatnak, s nem engedik a tüzet oltani, mondván, hogy parancsra cselekesznek.
