Persarum statuit Babylona Semiramis urbem, ut solidum cocto tolleret aggere opus, et duo in adversum mitti per moenia currus nec possent tacto stringere ab axe latus; duxit et Euphraten medium, quam condidit, arcis, iussit et imperio subdere Bactra caput.
Semiramis built Babylon, the Persians capital, by rearing a solid edifice with wall of brick such that two chariots might be sent against each other along the ramparts and yet not scrape their sides with an axles touch; and she channelled the Euphrates through the middle of the citadel she founded and commanded Bactra to bow its head to her sway.
