Sed ut ceterorum quoque deorum propensum huic urbi numen exsequamur, triennio continuo vexata pestilentia civitas nostra, cum finem tanti et tam diutini mali neque divina misericordia neque humano auxilio imponi videret, cura sacerdotum inspectis Sibyllinis libris animadvertit non aliter pristinam recuperari salubritatem posse quam si ab Epidauro Aesculapius esset accersitus.
But to recount the power of other gods also favouring this city, for three continuous years our community was afflicted with a pestilence. When they saw that neither divine pity nor human aid was putting an end to this protracted evil, the Sibylline books were inspected by care of the priests and they perceived that former healthy conditions could be restored only if Aesculapius was summoned from Epidaurus.
