τῶν δὲ διὰ τοῦ τρόπου τῆς τοῦ πυρὸς πτώσεως ὅτι θεῶν ἐστὶ μῆνις τεκμηραμένων, εἰκότως δἰ ἐκθυσιῶν ὁ Οὐαλέσιος τὸ θεῖον ἐξιλεοῦτο: ὤν τε μετὰ τῆς γυναικὸς ἐν φόβῳ, καὶ τὸν τῶν παίδων θάνατον ἐλπίζων ὅσον οὐδέπω συμβήσεσθαι, προσπεσὼν τῇ Ἑστίᾳ δύο τελείας ἀντὶ τῶν παίδων αὐτῇ δώσειν ὑπισχνεῖτο ψυχάς, ἑαυτοῦ τε καὶ τῆς τῶν παίδων μητρός.
