Translation
Romulus, after founding/building the Palatine,1 also founded the Capitoline, which is the head of the city; in it he also placed the Palladium,2 having taken it from the city of Silva.3 It was called Satureion at first, but later Capitoline from the visible head of a freshly-slaughtered body buried in the foundations in the earth.4
