Qui virginem omni remediorum solacio plene curatam, patri tutissime servans, cum a Mallio Prisco, imperatoris legato, munimentum quo claudebatur obsideri coepisset, defensoresque eius deditionem meditari sentiret, veritus ne parentis opprobrio puella nobilis captiva superesset et violata, interfecta illa mox gladium in viscera sua compegit.
He, resorting to every healing remedy, entirely cured the girl and was guarding her in complete security for her father, when the fortress in which he was beleagured began to be blockaded by Mallius Priscus, the Roman commanders lieutenant-general; and when Menophilus learned that its defenders were thinking of surrender, fearing lest, to her fathers reproach, the high-born girl might be taken alive and suffer outrage, he killed her and then plunged the sword into his own vitals.
