§2.2.1γενεᾷ δʼ ἑκκαιδεκάτῃ μετὰ τὸν Τρωικὸν πόλεμον Ἀλβανοὶ συνοικίζουσιν ἄμφω τὰ χωρία ταῦτα τείχει περιλαβόντες καὶ τάφρῳ.
In the sixteenth generation after the Trojan War, the Albans settled both of these places jointly, enclosing them with a wall and a ditch.
τέως δὲ ἦν αὔλια βουφορβίων τε καὶ ποιμνίων καὶ τῶν ἄλλων καταγωγαὶ βοτήρων ἄφθονον ἀναδιδούσης πόαν τῆς αὐτόθι γῆς οὐ μόνον τὴν χειμερινήν, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὴν θερεινόμον διὰ τοὺς ἀναψύχοντάς τε καὶ κατάρδοντας αὐτὴν ποταμούς.
Until then, they had been folds for cattle and sheep and shelters for other herdsmen, since the land there produced abundant grass, not only for winter pasture but also for summer pasture, because of the rivers that cooled and watered it.
§2.2.2γένος δὲ τὸ τῶν Ἀλβανῶν μικτὸν ἦν ἔκ τε Πελασγῶν καὶ Ἀρκάδων καὶ Ἐπειῶν τῶν ἐξ Ἤλιδος ἐλθόντων, τελευταίων δὲ τῶν μετὰ τὴν Ἰλίου ἅλωσιν ἀφικομένων εἰς Ἰταλίαν Τρώων, οὺς ἦγεν Αἰνείας ὁ Ἀγχίσου καὶ Ἀφροδίτης.
The race of the Albans was mixed, consisting of Pelasgians, Arcadians, and Epeans who had come from Elis, and lastly, of the Trojans who arrived in Italy after the capture of Ilium, led by Aeneas, the son of Anchises and Aphrodite.
εἰκὸς δέ τι καὶ βαρβαρικὸν ἐκ τῶν προσοίκων ἢ παλαιῶν οἰκητόρων ὑπολιπὲς τῷ Ἑλληνικῷ συγκαταμιγῆναι.
It is probable also that some barbarian element left behind from the neighboring people or the former inhabitants was mixed with the Greek element.
ὄνομα δὲ κοινὸν οἱ σύμπαντες οὗτοι Λατῖνοι ἐκλήθησαν ἐπʼ ἀνδρὸς δυναστεύσαντος τῶν τόπων Λατίνου τὰς κατὰ τὸ ἔθνος ὀνομασίας ἀφαιρεθέντες.
They were all called by the common name of Latins, after Latinus, who had ruled over those places, being deprived of their respective national names.
§2.2.3ἐτειχίσθη μὲν ς3οὖν ἡ πόλις υπὸ τούτων τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐνιαυτῷ δευτέρῳ καὶ τριακοστῷ καὶ τετρακοσιοστῷ μετὰ τὴν Ἰλίου ἅλωσιν ἐπὶ τῆς ἑβδόμης ὀλυμπιάδος.
The city, therefore, was walled by these nations in the four hundred and thirty-second year after the capture of Ilium, in the seventh Olympiad.
οἱ δὲ ἀγαγόντες τὴν ἀποικίαν ἀδελφοὶ δίδυμοι τοῦ βασιλείου γένους ἦσαν· Ῥωμύλος αὐτῶν ὄνομα θατέρῳ, τῷ δʼ ἑτέρῳ Ῥῶμος·
Those who led the colony were twin brothers of the royal family; Romulus was the name of one of them, and Remus of the other.
τὰ μητρόθεν μὲν ἀπʼ Αἰνείου τε καὶ Δαρδανίδαι, πατρὸς δὲ ἀκρίβειαν μὲν οὐ ῥᾴδιον εἰπεῖν ἐξ ὅτου φύντες, πεπίστευνται δὲ ὑπὸ Ῥωμαίων Ἄρεος υἱοὶ γενέσθαι.
On their mother's side they were Dardanidae descended from Aeneas, but as to their father, while it is not easy to say with certainty from whom they were sprung, they are believed by the Romans to have been the sons of Mars.
§2.2.4οὐ μέντοι διέμεινάν γε ἀμφότεροι τῆς ἀποικίας ἡγεμόνες ὑπὲρ τῆς ἀρχῆς στασιάσαντες, ἀλλʼ ὁ περιλειφθεὶς αὐτῶν Ῥωμύλος ἀπολομένου θατέρου κατὰ τὴν μάχην οἰκιστὴς γίνεται τῆς πόλεως καὶ τοὔνομα αὐτῇ τῆς ἰδίας κλήσεως ἐπώνυμον τίθεται.
They did not, however, both remain leaders of the colony, having fallen into strife over the sovereignty; but Romulus, who survived after the other had perished in the battle, became the founder of the city and gave it a name derived from his own.
ἀριθμὸς δὲ τῶν μετασχόντων αὐτῷ τῆς ἀποικίας ἀπὸ πολλοῦ τοῦ κατʼ ἀρχὰς ἐξαποσταλέντος ὀλίγος ἦν ὁ καταλειφθείς, τρισχίλιοι πεζοὶ καὶ ἱππεῖς τριακόσιοι.
And the number of those who shared in the colony with him, out of the large force originally sent out, was small that remained: three thousand infantry and three hundred cavalry.
