"Then also did the Gelensians and the Agrigentines receive works of arts of which their respective cities had been antiently despoiled; among other things, the celebrated bull, in which Phalaris, that monster of tyrrany and cruelty, is said to have shut up living men, and roasted them to death. Scipio, on restoring the bull to the Agrigentines, is said to have made this declaration: 'It is well worth the consideration of the Sicilians, now that they are in possession of a monument which at once will immortalize Sicilian cruelty and the clemency of Rome, whether flavery under the rod of their own native tyrants were preferable to obedience to the government of the Roman people.'"
