Tamme hercule quam Pleminii, legati Scipionis, in thesauro Proserpinae spoliando sceleratam avaritiam iusta animadversione vindicavit: cum enim eum vinctum Romam pertrahi iussisset, [qui] ante causae dictionem in carcere taeterrimo genere morbi consumptus est, pecuniam dea eiusdem senatus imperio et quidem summam duplicando recuperavit.
No less zealously to be sure did it visit with just punishment the criminal avarice of Scipios Legate Pleminius in despoiling the treasury of Proserpine, giving orders that he be hauled in chains to Rome, where before trial he died in prison of a horrible kind of disease. The goddess by command of the same senate recovered the money and that in double the amount.
