Sidera, si vobis1 curae est servare Leonem, Hoc2 nullus vestro dignior orbe fuit.
In the title: This is about the same lion that saved Prisca. Marchina argues that this lion would be a better one to preserve among the stars than the Nemean lion. 1 Vobis, double dative. “If it is for care to you (stars)”; i.e., if you care. 1 Ablative of comparison; “than this one.”
