Numquam se cenasse domi Philo iurat, et hoc est:
non cenat, quotiens nemo vocavit eum. That he ne’er sups at home, proud Philo swears: When uninvited, he to sup forbears. Giura Filone che mai in casa ha cenato; ed รจ vero. Se nessuno lo invita, egli salta la cena. |
Martial, Epigrams, Book 5, XLVII
