Sic ille at contra Cirrhaei sanguis Imilce Castalii, cui materno de nomine dicta Castulo Phoebei servat cognomina vatis, atque ex sacrata repetebat stirpe parentes; tempore quo Bacchus populos domitabat Hiberos, concutiens thyrso atque armata Maenade Calpen, lascivo genitus Satyro nymphaque Myrice, Milichus indigenis late regnabat in oris, cornigeram attollens genitoris imagine frontem.
Thus he spoke, and Imilce answered him. She was descended from Castalius,b a man of Cirrha, who named his city, Castulo, after his mother, and it still keeps the name of Apollos priest. Thus Imilce traced her pedigree to a sacred stock. When Bacchus was conquering the Spanish peoples and attacking Calpe with the staves and spears of his Maenads, Milichus was born of a lustful Satyr and the nymph Myrice, and had held wide dominion in his native land; and horns, like those of his father, grew upon his forehead.
