On the Spectacles, 1 (Ker)

Let not barbaric Memphis tell of the wonder of her Pyramids, nor Assyrian toil vaunt its Babylon; let not the soft lonians be extolled for Trivia's fane; let the altar wrought of many hoi-ns keep hid its Delos; let not Carians exalt to the skies with boundless praise the Mausoleum poised on empty air. All labour yields to Caesar's Amphitheatre: one work in place of all shall Fame rehearse.
