"Litterarum Latinarum rerumque Romanarum studiosos magno opere hortor ut hanc mythistoriam splendide scriptam perlegant. Quicumque hanc narrationem veri simillimam legere coeperit, se non tantum in urbe Roma et inter Romanos veteres versari, sed etiam illo aevo vivere et vigere, quo imperium Romanum maxime viguerit, paene pro certo habebit!"
