Quotation
οὐθὲν δὲ κωλύει τὸ μὲν εὕρημα Τυρρηνῶν εἶναι, χρήσασθαι δ᾿ αὐτῷ πρῶτον Ῥωμύλον παρ᾿ ἐκείνων λαβόντα, κομισθῆναι δὲ Ταρκυνίῳ σὺν τοῖς ἄλλοις κόσμοις βασιλικοῖς καὶ τοὺς δώδεκα πελέκεις, ὥσπερ γε καὶ νῦν Ῥωμαῖοι τὰ σκῆπτρα καὶ τὰ διαδήματα δωροῦνται τοῖς βασιλεῦσι βεβαιοῦντες αὐτοῖς τὰς ἐξουσίας, ἐπεὶ καὶ μὴ λαβόντες γε παρ᾿ ἐκείνων ἔχουσιν αὐτά.
