[86]
Unless, perchance, we are to say that it was by accident that it happened
that it was before the very shrine of the Good Goddess which is in the farm
of Titus Sextus Gallius, a most honourable and accomplished young
man,—before the Good Goddess herself, I say, that when he had
begun the battle, he received that first wound under which he gave up that
foul soul of his; so that he did not seem to have been acquitted in that
iniquitous trial, but only to have been reserved for this conspicuous
punishment.
