Antiquae urbis Romae cum regionibus simulachrum

A decorative initial P is at the beginning of the text.

The first region of the City of Rome is called the Porta Camena, from the temple of the Camenae muses or prophetic water nymphs situated according to itself but outside. To those walking on the left toward the house of Saint Sebastian, it was later called the Porta Capena, since the Capenate peoples, who are now called the Carpenati, used to be sought out from there. It is read that this first region held these most significant sites, beginning from the West and the approach of the Circus Maximus, and extending as far as the small river Almo and the approach to Saint Sebastian, that is, his temple, which was the temple of Cybele, whose statue used to be washed in the Almo, as one might read in many places. This primary region contained, I say, the Arch of Drusus, the Arch of the Divine Trajan, the Arch of the Divine Verus or Severus, the Temple of Honor and Virtue where Saint Sixtus is now, the Baths of Severus where Saint John before the Latin Gate is said to be now, the Baths of Commodus near Saint John in Fonte, and outside the gate, the Temple of the Camenae, the Almo river, and the Temple of Tellus or Cybele, now called Saint Sebastian.

A decorative initial N is at the beginning of the paragraph.

Whoever might doubt and be ignorant of what insulae apartment blocks are, and vici neighborhoods or street quarters, and domus private mansions, which are placed throughout these regions, behold: insulae are small houses for the lower classes and the poor. Vici, however, are the directions of the streets. Domus, indeed, are the dwellings of the powerful, the noble, the wealthy, and the aristocracy.
