Description: 'Tria pavimenta tessellata Romani operis, animantium figuris, aliisque diversi generais ornamentis, variis coloribus eleganter depicta; quae in agro Wintertoniae, Lincolniensis comitatus oppidi, prope fluvius Trentam et Humbram anno MDCCXLVII primum reperiebantur. His quartum est adjunctum, apud Roxby vicinum oppidum, sed nondum penitus retectum. Tria priora ex his pavimentis contigua fere sibi invicem locabantur, quorum primum tridinio fuisse substratum conjectari licet. In medio enim Orpheus sedet citharam pulsans, quem bruta circumdant animalia cantu delinita; et in quatuor angulis totidem crateres vinarii conspiciuntur. Secundi autem partem mediam Cerer spicas, ut vcidetur dextera tenens occupat, Tertium vero cervum exhibet currentem. Quae omnia copiae et hilaritatis signa non immerito censeantur.'.
