« qui non apparisce altro segno, che certi pezzeti di tegoli consumati, di vasi et statue rotte, d’urne di terra [13] cotta, [...] il resto di quei poveri mirabili aquedotti con altre fabbriche, come il Palagio Senatorio, o di Severo, i vestigi dell’Anfiteatro su la costa di S. Bastiano et nella vigna d’Oserra, una parte del Teatro nella vigna di Barondeo verso Forviera »...
= “the only other indications to be found here are pieces of burnt tiles and vases; broken statues, terracotta urns […] and the remains of these poor, wonderful aqueducts. There are also other edifices, such as the the Palace of the Senate, or of Severus, the remains of an amphitheatre in the Auserre vineyards on the hill of St Sebastian and part of a theatre in the Barondeo vineyards, on the way to Fourviere.”
