Terrarum Roma Gemina de luce majistrA. Ros Missus Semper Aderit: velut incola IoseP Olim Contrito Letheo Contulit OrchO. To read this you will see you must take the first letter of each verse: TRO, _Trophemus_; GAL, _Galliæorum_; and APO, _Apostolus_. The letter H, belonging to the word _Joseph_, must be carried to the word _Orcho_, and the P must stand by itself. _Trophimus Galliarum Apostolus, ut ros missus est, ex urbe Romæ rerum Dominæ Gemina de luce, scilicet a Petro et Paulo, Ecclesiæ luminaribus; Contrito orcho Letheo, nempe statim post Christi Passionem qua Dæmonis & orchi caput contrivit, semper animos nostras nutriet, cibo illo, divinæ fidei quem nobis contulit: ut alter Joseph qui olim Ægypti populum same pereuntem liberavit._ LETTER XXXVII. MARSEILLES. Soon after we left the town of _Arles_, on our way to _Aix_, and this city, we entered upon a most extraordinary and extensive plain; it is called the _Crau_, and is a principal and singular domain, belonging to and situated on the south side of that city; it is ten leagues in diameter; on which vast extent, scarce a tree, shrub, or verdure is visible; the whole spot being covered with flint stones of various sizes, and of singular shapes. _Petrarch_ says, as _Strabo_, and others have said before him, that those flint stones fell from Heaven like hail, when _Hercules_ was fighting there against the giants, who, finding he was likely to be overcome, invoked his father _Jupiter_, who rained this hard shower of flint stones upon his enemies, which is confirmed by _Æschylus_. "Jupiter Alcidem quando respexit inormem, Illachrymans, Ligures saxoso perpluit imbre."
