though so many wars have proceeded from the shores of that sea, and though so many
have been poured into Pontus, has still

Syracuse, which Marcus Marcellus,
when in arms and victorious, had seen, which he had spared to the religion of the

often venerated, Caius Verres took away from the temple of Jupiter.
