Seruio Tullio regnante cuidam patri familiae in agro Sabino praecipuae magnitudinis et eximiae formae uacca nata est. quam oraculorum certissimi auctores in hoc a dis inmortalibus editam responderunt, ut quisquis eam Auentinensi Dianae immolasset, eius patria totius terrarum orbis imperium obtineret. laetus eo dominus bouem summa cum festinatione Romam actam in Auentino ante aram Dianae constituit, sacrificio Sabinis regimen humani generis daturus. de qua re antistes templi certior factus religionem hospiti intulit, ne prius uictimam caederet quam proximi amnis se aqua abluisset, eoque alueum Tiberis petente uaccam ipse immolauit et urbem nostram tot ciuitatium, tot gentium dominam pio sacrificii furto reddidit.
