Comment: On January 1 the senators dedicated the Temple of Aesculapius
and the Temple of Jupiter Iurarius.
Quod tamen ex ipsis licuit mihi discere fastis,
sacravere patres hac duo templa die:
accepit Phoebo nymphaque Coronide natum
Insula, dividua quam premit amnis aqua.
Iuppiter in parte est: cepit locus unus utrumque
iunctaque sunt magno templa nepotis avo.

Iurarius (apparently shared by the god Faunus) as an example.
Prostylos omnia habet quemadmodum in antis, columnas autem contra antas
angulares duas supraque epistylia, quemadmodum et in antis, et dextra ac
sinistra in versuris singula. huius exemplar est in insula Tiberina in
aede Iovis et Fauni.
