When Tullus heard this, he was wonderfully pleased, and giving him his right hand, said:
‘Rise up, Marcius, and be of good courage. In giving thyself to us, thou bringest us a great good, and thou mayest expect a greater one still from the Volscians.’ Then he entertained Marcius at table with every mark of kindness, and during the ensuing days they took counsel together concerning the war.1
