« Antiquitatem urbis, & quňd Romani hîc degere amarint, testantur operum, quć excitarunt, reliquić. [...] Aqućductuum, ex alia parte pariter extra urbem. »
= “The ancient origins of the town and the favour bestowed upon it by the Romans are attested by the many ancient remains found here, which include […] an aqueduct, located, likewise, outside the city.”
