Eadem rei publicae tempestate C. Fabius Dorsuo memorabile exemplum servatae religionis dedit: namque Gallis Capitolium obsidentibus, ne statum Fabiae gentis sacrificium interrumperetur, Gabino ritu cinctus, manibus umerisque sacra gerens, per medias hostium stationes in Quirinalem collem pervenit.
In the same time of our states trouble, C. Fabius Dorsuo gave a shining example of religion observed. The Gauls were besieging the Capitol. Rather than let the appointed sacrifice of the clan Fabia be interrupted, girt in the Gabine fashion and bearing the cult objects in his arms and on his shoulders, he made his way through the midst of the enemy pickets to the Quirinal hill.
