Cuius cum in urbe pulcherrimum templum haberent, Gracchano tumultu moniti Sibyllinis libris ut vetustissimam Cererem placarent, Hennam, quoniam sacra eius inde orta credebant, quindecimviros ad eam propitiandam miserunt, item Matri deum saepenumero imperatores nostri compotes victoriarum suscepta vota Pessinuntem profecti solverunt.
And although they had a splendid temple of hers in Rome, they sent a delegation of fifteen to Henna (since her worship was believed to have originated there) to propitiate her, admonished by the Sibylline Books during the Gracchan upheaval to appease most ancient Ceres. Likewise when our generals had gained victories they often travelled to Pessinus and paid the vows they had taken to the Mother of the Gods.
