The two Nubians take their places on either side of the beam, and Sabina knows they are about to drag her to the post and lift her up to hang by her wrists. Sabina narrates:
Ajax and Hercules took their places on either end of the timber and I knew what was coming. I had seen it done to others so many times. And I had laughed along with the crowd at the way those others had screamed and writhed. And now they were going to do it to me. They were preparing to move the patibulum over against the cross, and they were going to drag me by the nails in my wrists. And then they would lift me up to hang on the cross.
I had never felt so completely helpless. All I could do was watch in horror as they knelt down and took hold of the ends of the beam. Any thoughts of hiding my shame from the crowd were gone. I pulled my feet up close to my buttocks, hoping that I could somehow ease myself upward and prevent the nails from pulling against my throbbing wrists, even if just for this last moment before they lifted me onto my cross. My porcella was spread wide for the onlookers to see, but that didn’t matter, not now, not at this moment or ever again.
I took a deep breath and held it in anticipation, just before the beam began to move.
