Appenninicolam peditem Cybeleius hostis congressu excipiens Asiam defendere et Idam qui potuit cogente acies in proelia Gallo? Idalias nisi forte rosas, laurum citharoedi vatis, silvicolae calamos arcumque puellae dedere servitio calcataque sacra domare difficilis operis fuit inmensique laboris.
How could an enemy who was a follower of Cybele, meeting in conflict the footmen of the Apennines, defend Asia and Ida, with a eunuch-priest driving his forces into battle? For surely to subject the roses of Idalium, the harper-prophets bay, the arrows and bow of the woodland maid, to subdue their rites and trample them under foot, was no hard task involving boundless toil.
