Infantes penes Africam Saturno immolabantur palam usque ad pro-consulatum Tiberii, qui eosdem sacerdotes in eisdem arboribus templi sui obumbratricibus scelerum votivis crucibus exposuit, teste militia patriae nostrae, quae id ipsum munus illi proconsuli functa est.
In Africa infants used to be sacrificed to Saturn,b and quite openly, down to the proconsulate of Tiberius,c who took the priests themselves and on the very trees of their temple, under whose shadow their crimes had been committed, hung them alive like votive offerings on crosses; and the soldiers of my own countryd are witnesses to it, who served that proconsul in that very task.
