        damna valent; montisque iacens radicibus imis
        liquitur in lacrimas, donec pietate dolentis
        mota soror Phoebi gelidum de corpore fontem
        fecit et aeternas artus tenuavit in undas.
        But the woes of others did not have the strength to lift Egeria's griefs; and lying at the lowest roots of a mountain she melted into tears, until, moved by the faithfulness of her suffering, the sister of Phoebus made from her body a cool spring, and weakened her limbs into eternal streams.

    1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
