« Vt de imâ ista antiquitate taceam, novitiam non esse, & olim ongè hodiernâ ampliorem fuisse [168] testantur tot fornices arcuati, columnæ, reliquiæ ædium in ruinas datarum. »
= “Concerning the age [of the town], I shall only say it is not recent and that in times past it was much larger than it is today, as attest the numerous arches, columns and remnants of ruined buildings found there.”
