[enim] tempestate, certe adversus eundem hostem et in eodem Tiberi inclitum ausa facinus: inter ceteras enim virgines obses Porsennae data, [hosti] nocturno tempore custodiam egressa, equum conscendit celerique traiectu fluminis non solum obsidio se sed etiam metu patriam solvit, viris puella lumen virtutis praeferendo.
She dared a famous deed almost at the same time, certainly against the same enemy and in the same Tiber. She had been given hostage to Porsenna with other girls. Passing the enemy guard at night, she mounted a horse and, swiftly crossing the river, freed not only herself from the condition of a hostage but her country from fear'a girl, holding the light of valour before men.
