    Liber Sapientiae

    Wisdom

    17

    Et hos quos in palam homines honorare non poterant propter hoc quod longe essent, e longinquo figura eorum allata, evidentem imaginem regis quem honorare volebant fecerunt, ut illum qui aberat, tamquam præsentem colerent sua sollicitudine.

    And those whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they brought their resemblance from afar, and made an express image of the king, whom they had a mind to honour: that by this their diligence, they might honour as present, him that was absent.

    Et hoc que in palam homines honora non pote propter hoc quod longe es, ex longinqua figura de illos ad-fer, fac evida imagine de rege quem honora vol, ut illo qui abes, sicut praesenti cole suo sollicitudine.
