πρῶτοι συνοικίσαντες τὴν πόλιν οὐκ ἀνασχετὸν
ἐποιοῦντο πόλεως καὶ χώρας τοὺς Σαβίνους μεταλαβόντας ἄρχειν βιάζεσθαι
τῶν ἐπὶ ταῦτα δεξαμένων, καὶ τοῖς Σαβίνοις ἦν τις εὐγνώμων λόγος,
ἐπεὶ Τατίου τοῦ βασιλέως αὑτῶν ἀποθανόντος οὐκ ἐστασίασαν πρὸς
Ῥωμύλον, ἀλλ᾽ εἴασαν ἄρχειν μόνον, αὖθις ἀξιούντων τὸν ἄρχοντα
γενέσθαι παρ᾽ αὑτῶν, οὔτε γάρ ἐκ ταπεινοτέρων κρείττοσι προσγενέσθαι, καὶ
προσγενόμενοι πλήθει τε ῥῶσαι καὶ προαγαγεῖν εἰς ἀξίωμα πόλεως ἐκείνους
μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν, ὑπὲρ μὲν οὖν τούτων ἐστασίαζον.
