to the care of the succeeding consuls； died； thus closing a life
which； so far as human life may be； had been full of all that is
good and honourable。 The people； as though they had not duly
rewarded his deserts when alive； but still were in his debt； decreed
him a public interment； every one contributing his quadrans towards
the charge； the women； besides； by private consent； mourned a whole
year； a signal mark of honour to his memory。 He was buried； by the
people's desire； within the city； in the part called Velia； where
his posterity had likewise privilege of burial； now； however； none
of the family are interred there； but the body is carried thither
and set down； and some one places a burning torch under it and
immediately takes it away； as an attestation of the deceased's
privilege； and his receding from his honour； after which the body is
removed。
THE END
