Titus, sent by his father Vespasian to congratulate Galba, hears of that emperor´s death, and stops at Corinth; he resolves to return to Syria, and sails to Rhodes and Cyprus; at the last place he visits the temple of the Paphian Venus; some account of the goddess, and the rites of worship; he lands in Syria - V.
