The burning logs were not sent down the river one by one, but were placed on rafts, so that being incapable of passing on between the piers of the bridge, they firmly stuck there, and burnt the bridge. This mode of interpretation is confirmed by Dion. iii. 5, 6. Collatia and all the land about it was taken from the Sabines, and Egerius, son to the king's brother, was left there with a garrison.
It must have been handed down from a time beyond the memory of man, when Italy was still in a far ruder state than any known to us in the historical period. The credit of the tradition is rather shaken than confirmed by another story which ascribes the foundation of the sanctuary to a certain Manius Egerius, who gave rise to the saying, "There are many Manii at Aricia."
Some Ah was not one o' them, though Ah see now they were right, said the quarters were not fit to live in." "But I thought you said Colonel Egerius was a kind master? How could that be if the quarters were so bad?" "No, sah," he said, "Ah should never call the old massa kind, he was fair an' ready to help a willin' worker. But his slaves was his slaves an' they had no rights.
"Ephraim sent me word that you were here, and I received a letter a week ago from the supervisor, whom I have known for some time, telling me that you were a friend of his. I wanted to bid you welcome, sir, and to express the hope that we shall have the pleasure of seeing you at dinner with us to-night." Hamilton bowed. "I shall enjoy coming, Colonel Egerius," he said. "At what hour?"
In the latter respect these Nemi legends are probably more to be trusted than the apparently historical tradition, vouched for by Cato the Elder, that the sacred grove was dedicated to Diana by a certain Egerius Baebius or Laevius of Tusculum, a Latin dictator, on behalf of the peoples of Tusculum, Aricia, Lanuvium, Laurentum, Cora, Tibur, Pometia, and Ardea.
An' so thar's not a foot o' land in Bullertown owned by any other than people o' color, an' not a white person lives hyar." "You own all the land, then?" "The syndicate does, yes, sah." "Then you must have some wealthy men among you?" "No, sah, not one. The town was begun, sah, by the kindness of Colonel Egerius." "Colonel he was, that is, he is " began Hamilton, stammering.
"Six-thirty," the Colonel replied, "we keep early hours in the country. By the way," he added, "have you heard anything of this peonage business here this morning?" "No, sir," the boy answered, "I started out with my schedules bright and early." "I purpose to hold an inquiry after lunch," the planter continued. "You are lunching at Ephraim's of course?" "Yes, Colonel Egerius," the boy answered.
"He is not a negro, sah," the old man answered finishing the boy's embarrassed sentence for him with entire self-possession. "Colonel Egerius, sah, was a plantation owner, befo' the war. Ah was one o' his slaves, an' mos' o' the people in Bullertown are the children o' those born in the plantation quarters." "And he started the town?" "Yas, sah, in a way.
A Roman satirist uses the name Manius as typical of the beggars who lay in wait for pilgrims on the Arician slopes. These differences of opinion, together with the discrepancy between Manius Egerius of Aricia and Egerius Laevius of Tusculum, as well as the resemblance of both names to the mythical Egeria, excite our suspicion.
