cum pestifera seditione Syracusarum tota regis Gelonis stirps evidentissimis exhausta cladibus ad unicam filiam Harmoniam virginem esset redacta, et in eam certatim ab inimicis impetus fieret, nutrix eius aequalem illi puellam, regio cultu ornatam, hostilibus gladiis subiecit; quae ne cum ferro quidem trucidaretur cuius esset condicionis proclamavit.
A deadly civil strife in Syracuse had exhausted the entire race of king Gelo in conspicuous tragedies and reduced it to his only daughter Harmonia, a virgin. When her enemies rushed upon her vying with one another, her nurse submitted a girl of the same age, got up in royal apparel, to the hostile swords; and even when she was being slaughtered with steel, she did not cry out what she really was.
