Plut. Mor., Roman Questions 3 — Roman Questions, Plutarch; served verbatim

Question 3. What is the reason that, seeing there are so many of Diana’s temples in Rome, the men refrain going into that only which stands in Patrician Street? Solution. Is it upon the account of the fabulous story, that a certain man, ravishing a woman that was there worshipping the Goddess, was torn in pieces by dogs; and hence this superstitious practice arose, that men enter not in?

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
