    15

    Acerbo enim luctu dolens pater, cito sibi rapti filii fecit imaginem; et illum qui tunc quasi homo mortuus fuerat, nunc tamquam deum colere cœpit, et constituit inter servos suos sacra et sacrificia.

    For a father being afflicted with bitter grief, made to himself the image of his son, who was quickly taken away: and him who then had died as a man, he began now to worship as a god, and appointed him rites and sacrifices among his servants.

    Acerbo nam luctu dole patre, cito ad se rape filio fac imagine; et illo qui tunc quasi homine morto es, nunc sicut deo cole incipe, et constitue inter servos suo sacro et sacrificios.
