enixo Crotoniatae studio ab eo petierunt ut senatum ipsorum, qui mille hominum numero constabat, consiliis suis uti pateretur, opulentissimaque civitas <Metapontini> iam praesentem venerati post mortem domum Cereris sacrarium fecerunt, quoadque illa urbs viguit, et dea in hominis memoria et homo in deae religione cultus est.
The people of Croton pressingly requested him to allow their senate, numbering a thousand men, to avail itself of his advice; and the very thriving community of Metapontus, which had venerated him in his lifetime, made his house a shrine of Ceres after his death. As long as the city flourished, the goddess was worshipped in the remembrance of the man and the man in the religious observance of the goddess.
