Κόϊντος δὲ Φάβιος κατὰ τὸ πρῶτον ἔτος τῆς ὀγδόης ὀλυμπιάδος (Romam conditam ait). Τετάρτῳ δὲ μηνὶ μετὰ τὴν κτίσιν, ὡς Φάβιος ἱστορεῖ, τὸ περὶ τὴν ἁρπαγὴν ἐτολμήθη τῶν γυναικῶν (Sabinarum). Tarpeia Sabinos Tatio duce Capitolium aggressuros conspicit, καὶ αὐτὴν, ὡς μὲν Φάβιός τε καὶ Κίγκιος γράφουσιν, ἔρως εἰσέρχεται τῶν ψαλίων, ἃ περὶ τοῖς ἀριστεροῖς βραχίοσιν ἐφόρουν καὶ τῶν δακτύλων. Οἱ δὲ περὶ τὸν Φάβιόν τε καὶ Κίγκιον οὐδὲν τοιοῦτον λέγουσι γεγονέναι, ἀλλὰ φυλάξαι τὴν κόρην διαβεβαιοῦνται τὰς περὶ τὴν προδοσίαν συνθήκας· τὰ δὲ ἑξῆς ἅπκντες πάλιν ὁμοίως γράφουσιν.
