ne Ubii quidem, quamquam Rommana colonia esse meruerint ac libentius Agrippinenses conditoris sui nomine vocentur, origine erubescunt, transgressi olim et experimento fidei super ipsam Rheni ripam collocati, ut arcerent, non ut custodirentur.
Not even the Ubii, though they have earned the right to be a Roman colony and prefer to be called Agrippinenses, from the name of their founder, blush to own their German origin: they originally came from beyond the river, and were placed in charge of the bank itself, after they had given proof of their loyalty, in order to block the way to others, not in order to be under supervision.
