gentis Cariae regina Artemisia virum suum Mausolum fato absumptum quantopere desideraverit leve est post conquisitorum omnis generis honorum monumentique usque ad septem miracula provecti magnificentiam argumentari: quid enim aut eos colligas aut de illo inclito tumulo loquare, cum ipsa Mausoli vivum ac spirans sepulcrum fieri concupierit eorum testimonio qui illam exstincti ossa potioni aspersa bibisse tradunt? .
It would be frivolous to argue how sorely Artemisia queen of Caria missed her dead husband Mausolus after the magnificence of the manifold honours she devised for him and the monument which rose to a place among the Seven Wonders. Why collect the former or speak of that famous tomb when she herself desired to become a living and breathing sepulchre of Mausolus by the testimony of those who record that she drank a potion powdered with the dead mans bones.
