"After all crying out together they remained, as it were, dumbfounded. But once the word had quickly spread into the multitude there was no longer confusion; rather, some rushed at the envoys, as if all the blame for these things was theirs, while others attacked the remainder of the Italians, venting their rage on them, and others [ran] to the city gates."[1]
Alogistia ["thoughtlessness"] is also a word in

Greek Original:Ἀλογία: ἀταξία. οἱ δὲ πάντες ἅμα ἀνακεκραγότες ἐξαυτῆς οἱονεὶ παρεληλύθεισαν. ταχὺ δὲ τοῦ λόγου διαδοθέντος εἰς τὸ πλῆθος, οὐκέτι συνέβαινε γίνεσθαι τὴν ἀλογίαν, ἀλλ' οἱ μὲν ἐπὶ τοὺς πρεσβευτὰς ὥρμων, ὡς αἰτίους σφίσι τῶν κακῶν ὄντας τούτων, οἱ δὲ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατειλημμένους τῶν Ἰταλικῶν καὶ εἰς τούτους ἀπερείσαντες τὸν θυμὸν, οἱ δὲ πρὸς τὰς πύλας τῆς πόλεως. λέγεται δὲ καὶ Ἀλογιστία παρὰ Πολυβίῳ.
