There was once discovered in a place higher than the walls of the city of Rome, an uncorrupted body, on which the following words were inscribed. "Pallas, the son of Evander, whom the lance of a crooked soldier slew, is interred here." A candle burned at his head, which neither water nor wind could extinguish, until air was admitted through a hole made with the point of a needle beneath the flame. The wound of which this person had died, was four feet and a half long. He was a giant, and having been killed after the overthrow of Troy, was buried here, where he had remained two thousand two hundred and forty years.
