Cebes' Tablet
Happening one day to walk in the Temple of Saturn,
we reverently contemplated its many & various inscriptions.
Prominently affixed to the front of the Temple,
wherein loomed up large a strange pictorial Tablet,
containing certain peculiar words,
the significance of which we were not able to fathom,
to what and when they referred.
Because it didn't seem to represent neither a city or military camp,
but it was a precinct, containing another two in itself,
one greater, the other smaller.
There was a gate in the first enclosure,
about which was a great crowd of people standing.
Inside this enclosure one could see a crowd of women.
At the entrance of the 1st gate and enclosure
an old man seemed
to be uttering some command.
