Apud hos occupare fati diem pulchrum, et vivos se cremari iubent quibus aut segnis aetas aut incommoda valetudo est; exspectatam mortem pro dedecore vitae habent, nec ullus corporibus, quae senectus solvit, honos redditur; inquinari putant ignem,  nisi qui spirantes recipit.
These consider it glorious to anticipate the day of fate, and those whose life is feeble or whose health is impaired give orders to be burned alive; to wait for death they regard as a disgrace to life, and no honour is paid to the bodies of those who die of old age; they believe that the fire is sullied unless it receives  them while still breathing.
