...A costoro (gli etruschi ruggiti con porsenna) il senato assegno' un luogo della citta' nel quale potessero edificare abitazioni: Era la valle tra il palatio e il campidoglio. Estesa per circa quattro stadi. Per questo, ancora ai miei tempi, e' chiamata dai romani, nel dialetto locale, "quartiere tirreno"...
Dionigi di Alicarnasso, Le Antichita Romane, V, 36, 4
...To these (the Etruscans, who had fought alongside Porsenna), the Senate assigned a place in the city where they could build their houses. It was the valley between the Palatine and the Capitoline Hill, extending for about four stadia. For this reason, even in my time, it was called by the Romans, in the local dialect, the 'Tyrrean quarter'...
