Auriculam Mario graviter miraris olere.
Tu facis hoc: garris, Nestor, in auriculam. You wonder that Marius’ ear smells abominably. You are the cause: you whisper, Nestor, into his ear. Ti meravigli perché l’orecchio di Mario putisce. È colpa tua, o Nestore, che gli ciarli all’orecchio. |
Martial, Epigrams, Book 3, XXVIII
