[581] symaethia circum flumina Symaethos fluvius est Siciliae, a rege Symaetho dictus, haud longe ab urbe Catinensi, circa quem sunt Palici dei, quorum talis est fabula: Aetnam nympham, vel, ut quidam volunt, Thaliam, Iuppiter cum vitiasset et fecisset gravidam, timens Iunonem, secundum alios ipsam puellam terrae commendavit, et illic enixa est: secundum alios partum eius. postea cum de terra erupissent duo pueri, Palici dicti sunt, quasi iterum venientes: nam πάλιν ἵκειν est iterum venire. hi primo humanis hostiis placabantur, postea quibusdam sacris mitigati sunt et eorum inmutata sacrificia. ideo ergo 'placabilis ara', quia mitigata sunt eorum numina. Palicos nauticos deos Varro appellat. alii dicunt Iovem hunc Palicum propter Iunonis iracundiam in aquilam commutasse. alii Vulcani et Aetnae filium tradunt. sed incertum ex qua recondita historia Arcentem istum induxerit: neque enim sine ratione vel lucus Martis appositus est. et quid homo Siculus in hoc bello facit, quem nusquam supra cum Aenea dicit ad Italiam pervenisse?
