Septima iam, Phileros, tibi conditur uxor in agro.
Plus nulli, Phileros, quam tibi reddit ager. Already, Phileros, your seventh wife is being buried on your land. Better return than yours, Phileros, land makes to no man. Filero, nel tuo campo hai dato alla settima moglie sepoltura. Nessuno al mondo prima di te c’è stato cui maggiormente renda l’agricoltura. |
Martial, Epigrams, Book 10, XLIII
