Propterea Vergilium quoque aiunt, multae antiquitatis hominem sine ostentationis studio peritum, numina laeva in Georgicis deprecari, significantem vim quandam esse huiuscemodi deorum in laedendo magis quam in iuvando potentem. Versus Vergilii sunt: In tenui labor; at tenuis non gloria, si quem Numina laeva sinunt auditque vocatus Apollo.
In istis autem diis quos placari oportet, uti mala a nobis vel a frugibus natis amoliantur, Auruncus quoque habetur et Robigus.
