Natali, Diodore, tuo conviva senatus
accubat, et rarus mon adhibetur eques; et tua tricenos largitur sportula nummos: nemo tamen matum te, Diodore, putat. On your birthday, Diodorus, the Senate is your guest at dinner, And few are the knights not invited, And your dole lavishes thirty sesterces on each guests. Yet no one, Diodorus, imagines you had a father. |
Martial, Epigrams, Book 10, XXVII
