Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulle pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Σίβυλλα τί θέλεις; respondebat illa: άποθανεΐν θέλω
| For with my own eyes I saw the Sibyl hanging in a jar at Cumae, and when the boys said to her, "Sibyl, what do you want?: she replied, "I want to die".
