Haud fuerit absurdum tradere montem eum antiquitus Querquetulanum cognomento fuisse, quod talis silvae frequens fecundusque erat, mox caelium appellitatum a Caele Vibenna, qui dux gentis Etruscae cum auxilium tulisset, sedem eam acceperat a Tarquinio Prisco, seu quis alius regum dedit: nam scriptores in eo dissentiunt. Cetera non ambigua sunt, magnas eas copias per plana etiam ac foro propinqua habitavisse, unde Tuscum vicum e vocabulo advenarum dictum.

It may not be out of place to state that the hill was originally named the "Querquetulanus," from the abundance of oak produced on it, and only later took the title of "Caelius" from Caeles Vibenna, an Etruscan chief; who, for marching to the aid of Rome, had received the district as a settlement, either from Tarquinius Priscus or by the gift of another of our kings. On that point the authors disagree: the rest is not in doubt--that Vibenna's numerous forces established themselves on the level also, and in the neighborhood of the forum, with the result that the Tuscan Street has taken its name from the immigrants.
