At first, indeed, the king endeavoured to protect his petitioner by using threats of violence, but he soon saw that it was a choice between making war or being paid for his treachery. The barbarian's sense of honour was unequal to this strain. He came to terms, surrendered Anicetus and the other fugitives, and thus put an end to 'the slaves' war'. This victory delighted Vespasian:
Gero traizioaren saria edo gerra pentsatu zuenean, leialtasuna, barbaroekin gertatu ohi denez, ezabaturik, Anizetoren heriotza itundu ondoren, errefuxiatuak entregatu zituen eta esklaboen gerrari azkena eman zitzaion.
