but pray,
let this treasure not perish.
:37:06
You are the only one
:37:09
to have thought of that...
the only one, Petronius!
:37:14
The only one!
:37:16
Go to Antium, the place
:37:19
of her birth.
There you will find
:37:23

:37:25
l shall go.
:37:28
l shall write an hymn
in her honour.
:37:32

Say the following words in Greek:
''Jesus Christ, God's Son, Saviour''.

:38:00
A fish.

Lygia poisons wells, kills children,
and indulges in lust?
:38:14

:38:48
But Christians perform miracles,
:38:50
so l hope they will grow back.
:38:53
- You've become a Christian?
- Yesterday.
:38:57
l also made a vow to Mercury,
:38:59
that if he leads me to the maiden,
he shall get two two cows
