Ad eum autem fontem epigramma est in lapide inscriptum: haec sententiae versibus graecis: eam non esse idoneam ad lavandum, sed etiam inimicam vitibus, quod apud eum fontem Melampus sacrificiis purgavisset rabiem Proeti filiarum restituissetque earum virginum mentes in pristinam sanitatem.
Against the spring there is an inscription engraved on the stone. This is the meaning of the Greek verses: that the water is not fit for washing and is also harmful to vines, because at this spring Melampus with sacrifices cleansed the madness of the daughters of Proetus and restored the minds of the girls to their former sanity.
