de qua re antistes templi certior factus religionem hospiti intulit, ne prius victimam caederet quam proximi am<nis se> aqua abluisset, eoque alveum Tiberis petente vaccam ipse immolavit, et urbem nostram tot civitatium, tot gentium dominam pio sacrificii furto reddidit.
Informed of this, the temple priest put a religious impediment in the strangers way, telling him that he must not kill the victim until he had washed in the water of the river nearby. Then, as he made for the channel of the Tiber, the priest immolated the cow himself and by this pious sacrificial trick made our city mistress of so many communities and nations.
