[83] “[Honorius, Papa III.] Ecclesiam Sanctæ Bibianæ juxta formas aquæ Martiæ cum Monasterio Monialium restituit.” (Ciaconi, Vitæ Pontif. Roman., &c., vol. ii. col. 46, C.)
[84] An inscription recording repairs by Agrippa is said by Ligorio to have been found on a cippus of travertine at the third mile on the Via Latina. The genuineness of this is doubted by Fabretti, because the number of miles does not agree; but it seems more probable that this was an error in transcribing, than that the inscription should be forged without any motive for doing so:—
AQVAE . IVLIAE . TEPVLAE.
IMP. CAES. DIVI . IVLI . F.
AVGVSTVS . PONTIF.
MAX. COS. X̅I̅I̅. TRIB. POT.
X̅I̅X̅. IMP. X̅I̅I̅I̅. CVRANTE
M. VIPSAN . AGRIPPA .
AEDIL . CVRVL . L. C. C.
P. MILL. X.
Another inscription, also recording repairs of the time of Augustus, was found by Fabretti himself, in the Vinea Bartholomæi Virginii, two miles from the Porta Maggiore, between the ruins of the arcades of the Marcian and Claudian, and was preserved in a private museum:
IVL. TEP. MAR.
IMP. CAESAR.
DIVI . F.
AVGVSTVS.
EX. S. C.
LXIII.
P. CCXI.
[85] Marrana is a general name for a running stream in the Campagna round Rome, probably a provincial word; but it is also the special name of this particular stream coming from Marino.
[86] “Tepula concipitur via Latina ad decimum milliarium, diverticulo euntibus ab Roma dextrorsus millium passuum duum ... inde suo rivo in urbem perducebatur.” (Frontinus, c. 8.)
[87] It is the building pointed out in guide-books as “The House of Cicero,” although there does not appear to be any historical ground for this name.
[88] “... ad milliarium ab urbe duo-decimum via Latina, diverticulo euntibus ab Roma dextrorsus millium passuum duum alterius aquæ proprias vires collegit et Tepulæ rivum intercepit. Acquisitæ aquæ ab inventore nomen Juliæ datum est, ita tamen divisa erogatione, ut maneret Tepulæ appellatio.”—(Frontinus, c. 9.)
[89] “Præter caput Juliæ transfluit aqua quæ vocatur Crabra. Hanc Agrippa omisit.”—(Frontinus, c. 9.)
