Tenet visentes Athenis Vulcanus Alcamenis manibus fabricatus: praeter cetera enim perfectissimae artis in eo procurrentia indicia etiam illud mirantur, quod stat dissimulatae claudicationis sub veste leviter vestigium repraesentans, ut non exprobratum tamquam vitium ita tamquam certam propriamque dei notam decore significans.
Vulcan, fabricated by the hands of Alcamenes, engrosses visitors in Athens. Besides other outstanding manifestations of artistic perfection in that statue, they are struck with how in its stance it offers a gentle hint of lameness disguised under the drapery, not reproaching as a blemish but all the same decorously indicating it as a definite and peculiar characteristic of the god.
