qui, postes ianuae tamquam aliquam religiosissimam aram sanctumque templum venerati, cupide Scipionis dexteram apprehenderunt ac diu osculati, positis ante vestibulum donis quae deorum immortalium numini consecrari solent, laeti quod Scipionem vidisse contigisset, ad naves reverterunt.
They did reverence to the doorposts as to some holy altar or sacred temple, then eagerly took Scipios hand and kissed it for a long while. Finally, after leaving gifts such as are customarily consecrated to the divinity of the immortal gods in front of the vestibule, they went back to their ships rejoicing that they had had the good fortune to see Scipio.
