Quae perpessi Limigantes territique subactorum exemplis et subitum prostratorum, diu haesitabant ambiguis mentibus, utrum oppeterent an rogarent, cum utriusque rei suppeterent documenta non levia. Vicit tamen ad ultimum coetu seniorum urgente, dedendi sese consilium. Variaeque palmae victoriarum accessit eorum quoque supplicatio, qui armis libertatem invaserant, et reliqui eorum cum precibus, ut superatos et imbelles dominos aspernati, fortioribus visis inclinavere cervices.
