Quam condicionem cum obstinate propositam videret mulier sapiens et egregie pia, ne quid filiis suis eo nomine incommodaret, facit quidem tabulas nuptiales cum quo iubebatur, cum Sicinio Claro, verum enimvero vanis frustrationibus nuptias eludit eo ad dum puerorum avus fato concessit, relictis filiis eius heredibus ita ut Pontianus, qui maior natu erat, fratri suo tutor esset.
Seeing how obstinately he pressed the match, that sagacious and exceptionally devoted woman, not wanting to disadvantage her sons on that account, signed a nuptial agreement with Sicinius Clarus, as she had been bidden, but nevertheless, by various evasions she put off the wedding until the boys grandfather had breathed his last; he had designated her sons as his heirs on condition that the elder one, Pontianus, would be his brothers guardian.
