Post multum sane tempus Sabini Romam venerunt. Adversus quos Romulus insurgens maximam ex eis multitudinem interfecit uxoresque illorum et filias iuvenibus civitatem inhabitantibus tradidit. Sabini vero discedentes cum magno exercitu Romam reversi sunt, eamque graviter obsidere coeperunt. Videntes Romani se nec fugere posse nec belli violentia eos superare, filios ex Sabinis mulieribus natos in acie inter se et illos posuerunt, ut sic saltem litem dirimere possent. Intuentes itaque Sabini liberos uxorum filiarumque suarum, misericordia moti, pacem pepigerunt.
