[2] μέλλων δ᾽ ἀπιέναι τήν τε περιβολὴν κατὰ κεφαλῆς εἵλκυσε καὶ τὰς χεῖρας ἀνασχὼν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, ὡς ἔθος ἐστίν, ἀρὰς ἐποιήσατο τοῖς θεοῖς: εἰ μὲν ἄδικα πάσχουσα ὑπὸ Σαυνιτῶν ἡ Ῥωμαίων πόλις καὶ μὴ δυναμένη μετὰ λόγου καὶ κρίσεως διαλῦσαι τὰς διαφορὰς ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα χωρήσαι, βουλάς τ᾽ ἀγαθὰς αὐτῇ θεοὺς καὶ δαίμονας ἐπὶ νοῦν ἄγειν, καὶ % πράξειεν πᾶσι διδόναι τοῖς πολεμίοις ἐντυχεῖν, εἰ δ᾽ αὐτή τι πλημμελοῦσα περὶ τὰ τῆς φιλίας ὅρκια προφάσεις κατασκευάζεται τῆς ἔχθρας οὐκ ἀληθεῖς, μήτε βουλὰς ὀρθοῦν αὐτοῖς μήτε πράξεις. Ursin. [p. 275]
