§2.46.1τοιαῦτα εἰποῦσαι προὔπεσον ἅπασαι τῶν τοῦ βασιλέως γονάτων ἅμα τοῖς τέκνοις καὶ διέμενον ἐρριμμέναι, τέως ἀνέστησαν αὐτὰς ἐκ τῆς γῆς οἱ παρόντες ἅπαντα ποιήσειν τὰ μέτρια καὶ τὰ δυνατὰ ὑπισχνούμενοι.
Having spoken thus, they all fell down at the knees of the king together with their children and remained prostrate, until those present, promising to do everything that was moderate and possible, raised them up from the ground.
μεταστησάμενοι δὲ αὐτὰς ἐκ τοῦ συνεδρίου καὶ βουλευσάμενοι καθʼ ἑαυτοὺς ἔκριναν ποιεῖσθαι τὰς διαλλαγάς.
Then, having removed them from the council and deliberated by themselves, they decided to make peace.
καὶ γίνονται τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐκεχειρίαι μὲν πρῶτον· ἔπειτα συνελθόντων τῶν βασιλέων συνθῆκαι περὶ φιλίας. §2.46.2ἦν δὲ τὰ συνομολογηθέντα τοῖς ἀνδράσι, περὶ ὧν τοὺς ὅρκους ἐποιήσαντο, τοιάδε· βασιλέας μὲν εἶναι Ῥωμαίων Ῥωμύλον καὶ Τάτιον ἰσοψήφους ὄντας καὶ τιμὰς καρπουμένους τὰς ἴσας, καλεῖσθαι δὲ τὴν μὲν πόλιν ἐπὶ τοῦ κτίσαντος τὸ αὐτὸ φυλάττουσαν ὄνομα Ῥώμην, καὶ ἕνα ἕκαστον τῶν ἐν αὐτῇ πολιτῶν Ῥωμαῖον, ὡς πρότερον, τοὺς δὲ σύμπαντας ἐπὶ τῆς Τατίου πατρίδος κοινῇ περιλαμβανομένους κλήσει Κυρίτας· πολιτεύειν δὲ τοὺς βουλομένους Σαβίνων ἐν Ῥώμῃ ἱερά τε συνενεγκαμένους καὶ εἰς φυλὰς καὶ εἰς φράτρας ἐπιδοθέντας.
And first an armistice was established between the nations; then, the kings having met, a treaty of friendship was concluded. The terms agreed upon by the men, concerning which they made their oaths, were as follows: that Romulus and Tatius should be kings of the Romans, having equal votes and enjoying equal honors; that the city should keep its same name after its founder and be called Rome, and each and every one of its citizens should be called a Roman, as before; but that all of them together, being embraced under a common appellation after the fatherland of Tatius, should be called Quirites; and that those of the Sabines who wished should have citizenship in Rome, after bringing in their own sacred rites and being distributed into tribes and phratries.
§2.46.3ταῦτα ὀμόσαντες καὶ βωμοὺς ἐπὶ τοῖς ὅρκοις ἱδρυσάμενοι κατὰ μέσην μάλιστα τὴν καλουμένην ἱερὰν ὁδὸν συνεκεράσθησαν ἀλλήλοις.
Having sworn to these terms and erected altars upon their oaths near the middle of what is called the Sacred Way, they mingled with one another.
καὶ οἱ μὲν ἄλλοι τὰς δυνάμεις ἀναλαβόντες ἡγεμόνες ἀπῆγον ἐπʼ οἴκου, Τάτιος δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ τρεῖς ἄνδρες οἴκων τῶν διαφανεστάτων ὑπέμειναν ἐν Ῥώμῃ καὶ τιμὰς ἔσχον, ἃς τὸ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ἐκαρποῦτο γένος, Οὐόλοσσος Οὐαλέριος καὶ Τάλλος Τυράννως ἐπίκλησιν καὶ τελευταῖος Μέττιος Κούρτιος, ὁ τὴν λίμνην σὺν τοῖς ὅπλοις διανηξάμενος, οἷς παρέμειναν ἑταῖροί τε καὶ συγγενεῖς καὶ πελάται, τῶν ἐπιχωρίων ἀριθμὸν οὐκ ἐλάττους.
And while the other leaders, taking up their forces, led them home, King Tatius and with him three men of the most illustrious families remained in Rome and received honors which the lineage descending from them enjoyed, namely, Volosus Valerius, Tallus surnamed Tyrannus, and lastly Mettius Curtius, who had swum across the lake with his arms. With these men remained their companions, relatives, and clients, in number not fewer than the original inhabitants.
