§2.47.1καταστάντων δὲ τῶν πραγμάτων ἔδοξε τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν, ἐπειδὴ πολλὴν ἐπίδοσιν εἰς ὄχλου πλῆθος ἡ πόλις εἰλήφει, διπλάσιον τοῦ προτέρου ποιῆσαι τὸν τῶν πατρικίων ἀριθμὸν προσκαταλέξαντας σὺν τοῖς ἐπιφανεστάτοις οἴκοις ἐκ τῶν ὕστερον ἐποικησάντων ἴσους τοῖς προτέροις, νεωτέρους οὓς ἐκάλεσαν πατρικίους· ἐξ ὧν ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας, οὓς αἱ φρᾶτραι προεχειρίσαντο, τοῖς ἄρχαίοις βουλευταῖς προσέγραψαν. §2.47.2περὶ μὲν οὖν τούτων ὀλίγου δεῖν πάντες οἱ συγγράψαντες τὰς Ῥωμαϊκὰς ἱστορίας συμπεφωνήκασιν, ὀλίγοι δέ τινες περὶ τοῦ πλήθους τῶν προσκαταγραφέντων βουλευτῶν διαφέρονται.
When affairs were settled, the kings, since the city had received a great increase in the multitude of its population, decided to make the number of patricians double what it had been before, by enrolling from among those who had settled there later, along with the most illustrious families, a number equal to the former ones, whom they called the younger patricians; and from these, they added to the ancient senators one hundred men whom the phratries had selected. Now concerning these matters, almost all who have written Roman histories are in agreement, but a few differ concerning the number of the senators who were additionally enrolled.
οὐ γὰρ ἑκατὸν ἀλλὰ πεντήκοντα τοὺς ἐπεισελθόντας εἰς τὴν βουλὴν ἀποφαίνουσι γενέσθαι. §2.47.3περὶ δὲ τῶν τιμῶν, ἃς ταῖς γυναιξὶν οἱ βασιλεῖς ἀπέδοσαν, ὅτι συνήγαγον αὐτοὺς εἰς φιλίαν, οὐχ ἅπαντες Ῥωμαίων συγγραφεῖς συμφέρονται.
For they declare that those who were newly introduced into the senate were not one hundred, but fifty. But as to the honors which the kings bestowed upon the women because they had brought them together into friendship, not all Roman historians agree.
τινὲς μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν γράφουσι τά τε ἄλλα πολλὰ καὶ μεγάλα δωρήσασθαι ταῖς γυναιξὶ τοὺς ἡγεμόνας καὶ δὴ καὶ τὰς φράτρας τριάκοντα οὔσας, ὥσπερ ἔφην, ἐπωνύμους τῶν γυναικῶν ποιῆσαι· τοσαύτας γὰρ εἶναι γυναῖκας τὰς ἐπιπρεσβευσαμένας. §2.47.4Οὐάρρων δὲ Τερέντιος τοῦτʼ αὐτοῖς τὸ μέρος οὐχ ὁμολογεῖ παλαίτερον ἔτι λέγων ταῖς κουρίαις τεθῆναι τὰ ὀνόματα ὑπὸ τοῦ Ῥωμύλου κατὰ τὴν πρώτην τοῦ πλήθους διαίρεσιν τὰ μὲν ἀπʼ ἀνδρῶν ληφθέντα ἡγεμόνων, τὰ δʼ ἀπὸ πάγων· τάς τʼ ἐπὶ τὴν πρεσβείαν ἐξελθούσας γυναῖκας οὐ τριάκοντα εἶναί φησιν, ἀλλὰ πεντακοσίας τε καὶ τριάκοντα τριῶν δεούσας οἴεταί τε οὐδʼ εἰκὸς εἶναι τοσούτων γυναικῶν τιμὴν ἀφελομένους τοὺς βασιλεῖς ὀλίγαις ἐξ αὐτῶν δοῦναι μόναις.
For some of them write that the leaders bestowed many other great gifts upon the women, and in particular made the thirty phratries, as I have said, named after the women; for they say that the women who went on the embassy were of that number. But Terentius Varro does not agree with them on this point, saying that the names had been given to the curiae even earlier by Romulus at the first division of the people, some being taken from leading men and others from the districts; and he says that the women who went out on the embassy were not thirty, but five hundred and twenty-seven, and he thinks it not even likely that the kings, depriving so many women of honor, should have given it to only a few of them.
ἀλλʼ ὑπὲρ μὲν τούτων οὔτε μηδένα ποιήσασθαι λόγον οὔτε πλείω γράφειν τῶν ἱκανῶν ἐφαίνετό μοι.
But concerning these matters, it seemed to me neither proper to make no mention at all, nor to write more than was sufficient.
