They killed Vannius's Suevi and Yazygi; but their own king fell.

They disappeared with their booty then, and the hostages remained in Hister's hands.

The mother died soon after, and Hister, not knowing what to do with the daughter, sent her to Pomponius, the governor of all Germany.

He, at the close of the war with the Catti, returned to Rome, where Claudius, as is known to thee, permitted him to have a triumph.

The maiden on that occasion walked after the car of the conqueror; but, at the end of the solemnity,--since hostages cannot be considered captives, and since Pomponius did not know what to do with her definitely--he gave her to his sister Pomponia Graecina, the wife of Plautius.
