neque eam opinio decepit: pari namque studio petitum ac promissum est praesidium, e vestigioque Epidaurii Romanorum legatos in templum Aesculapii, quod ab eorum urbe quinque milia passuum distat, perductos ut quidquid inde salubre patriae laturos se existimassent pro suo iure sumerent benignissime invitaverunt.
Nor was their expectation disappointed. Succour was as eagerly promised as sought, and straightway the Epidaurians conducted the Roman envoys to the temple of Aesculapius, which is five miles distant from their city, and invited them most generously to feel free to take from it whatever they thought would be salutary to their country.
