Transcription « Quod ad Sacra septa attinet, in iis quotidie veterum templorum ruinæ deteguntur, quæ prisci exornabant – Græcis, longéque petitis Marmoribus, ut fragmenta diversicoloria, & columnæ variæ è marmore (quas fusos lapides vulgus vocat) abundè testantur ; – varias ibi picta per artes Gaudet humus, tessellis diversa emblemata effingentibus adeò prægnans, ut vix locum offendas, quem olim sacrum fuisse levis sit suspicio, in quo integra pavimenta non detegas calculis, & omne genus coloribus aptata, qui quidem, & florum, & vasorum, & animalium effigies imitantur.
