Etiamque inveniuntur aquae genera mortifera, quae per maleficum sucum terrae percurrentia recipiunt in se vim venenatam, uti fuisse dicitur Terracinae fons, qui vocabatur Neptunius, ex quo qui biberant inprudentes, vita privabantur; quapropter antiqui eum obstruxisse dicuntur.
Kinds of water are also found which cause death; these run through dangerous juices of the soil and acquire a poisonous property. Such is said to have been the spring at Terracina which was called Neptunes; people who drank of it unwittingly lost their lives. For this reason, the ancients are said to have stopped it up.
