Eius dei hymnum Graeco et Latino carmine uobis ecce <iam> canam [iam]

illi a me dedicatum. Sum enim non ignotus illi sacricola nec recens

cultor nec ingratus antistes, ac iam et prorsa et uorsa facundia

ueneratus sum, (39) ita ut etiam nunc hymnum eius utraque lingua

canam, cui dialogum similiter Graecum et Latinum praetexui, in quo
+
sermocinabuntur Safidius Seuerus et Iulius Perseus, (40)uiri et inter

doctrina et eloquentia et beniuolentia paribus, incertum, modestia

unum certamen est, uter eorum magis Karthagine<m> diligat, atque

percontari a Perseo Graece quae ego pridie in templo Aesculapi

disseruerim, (43)paulatimque illis Seuerum adiungo, cui interim

Romanae linguae partes dedi. Nam et Perseus, quamuis et ipse optime

possit, tamen hodie uobis atticissabit.

Latona's grandson, revered Aesculapis, by whose mild herbal remedies
+
too briefly are the Fates beguiled, from Rome this child sends You
+
his golden locks, that were once his lord's delight, and along with
+
these the mirror that often assured him he was fair. He hastens to
+
sacrifice these tresses that once circled his shining face, happily
+
to serve, in payment for a vow, if You judge that out of danger he
+
will be. Preserve his youthful grace, though his hair is now
+
shortened, and long may You keep him handsome.

"Behold the God!" he cried, "It is the God.
+
Think holy thoughts and walk in reverent silence,

all who are present. Oh, most Beautiful,
+
let us behold you to our benefit,
+
and give aid to this people that performs
+
your sacred rites."

I'm sadly afraid Philumena's illness is getting worse. Aesculapius, I

do entreat thee, and thee, Salus, that it may not be so.
