Volturcius primo cohortatus ceteros gladio se a multitudine defendit, deinde, ubi a legatis desertus est, multa prius de salute sua Pomptinum obtestatus, quod ei notus erat, postremo timidus ac vitae diffidens velut hostibus sese praetoribus dedit.
Volturcius at first urged on his companions and with his sword defended himself against the throng; then, when he was deserted by the envoys, he made many appeals to Pomptinus concerning his safety, because they were acquainted, and finally in fear and despair of his life surrendered to the praetors, as if to foreign enemies.
