[Footnote 110:  Marucchi.  Bull.  Com., XXXII (1904), p. 240.  I also saw it very plainly by the light of a torch on a pole, when studying the temple in April, 1907.]

[Footnote 111:  See also Revue Arch., XXXIX (1901), p. 469, n. 188.]

[Footnote 112:  C.I.L, XIV, 2864.]

[Footnote 113:  See Henzen, Bull. dell’Inst., 1859, p. 23, from Paulus ex Festo under manceps.  This claims that probably the manceps was in charge of the maintenance (manutenzione) of the temple, and the cellarii of the cella proper, because aeditui, of whom we have no mention, are the proper custodians of the entire temple, precinct and all.]

[Footnote 114:  C.I.L., XIV, 3007.  See Jordan, Topog. d.  Stadt Rom, I, 2, p. 365, n. 73.]

[Footnote 115:  See Delbrueck, l.c., p. 62.]

[Footnote 116:  C.I.L., XIV, 2922; also on bricks, Ann. dell’Inst., 1855, p. 86—­C.I.L., XIV, 4091, 9.]

[Footnote 117:  C.I.L., XIV, 2980; C. Caesius M.f.C.  Flavius L.f.  Duovir Quinq. aedem et portic d.d. fac. coer. eidemq. prob.]

[Footnote 118:  C.I.L., XIV, 2995; ...summa porticum mar[moribus]—­albario adiecta.  Dessau says on “some public building,” which is too easy.  See Vitruvius, De Architectura, 7, 2; Pliny, XXXVI, 177.]

[Footnote 119:  Petrini, Memorie Prenestine, p. 430.  See also Juvenal XIV, 88; Friedlaender, Sittengeschichte Roms, II, 107, 10.]

[Footnote 120:  Delbrueck, l.c., p. 62, with illustration.]

[Footnote 121:  Although Suaresius (Thesaurus Antiq.  Italiae, VIII, Part IV, plate, p. 38) uses some worthless inscriptions in making such a point, his idea is good.  Perhaps the lettered blocks drawn for the inquirer from the arca were arranged here on this slab.  Another possibility is that it was a place of record of noted cures or answers of the Goddess.  Such inscriptions are well known from the temple of Aesculapius at Epidaurus, Cavvadias, [Greek:  ’Ephaem.  ’Arch.], 1883, p. 1975; Michel, Recueil d’insc. grec., 1069 ff.]

[Footnote 122:  Mommsen, Unterital.  Dialekte, pp. 320, 324; Marquardt, Staatsverwaltung, 3, p. 271, n. 8.  See Marucchi, Bull.  Com., 32 (1904), p. 10.]

[Footnote 123:  Delbrueck, l.c., pp. 50, 59, does prove that there is no reason why [Greek:  lithostroton] can not mean a mosaic floor of colored marble, but he forgets comparisons with the date of other Roman mosaics, and that Pliny would not have missed the opportunity of describing such wonderful mosaics as the two in Praeneste.  Marucchi, Bull.  Com., 32 (1904), p. 251 goes far afield in his Isityches (Isis-Fortuna) quest, and gets no results.
