a veatal virgin at Rome, who being suspected of unchastity, is said to have been cleared from that imputation in the following manner: the image of Cybele being brought out of Phrygia to Rome in a barge, and it happening to stick so fast in the river Tiber, that it could not be moved, the tying her girdle, the badge of chastity, to the barge, drew it along to the city, which a thousand men were unable to do.
