Beare him toth' Rock Tarpeian ‘Whereupon Sicinius, the cruellest and stoutest of the Tribunes, after he had whispered a little with his companions, did openly pronounce, in the face of all the people, Martius as condemned by the Tribunes to die. Then presently he commanded the Ædiles to apprehend him, and carry him straight to the rock Tarpeian, and to cast him headlong down the same.’—Plutarch, Coriolanus.—See also Note on Ædiles, l. 205.
