“[…] habeōque senectūtī magnam grātiam, quae mihi sermōnis aviditātem auxit, pōtiōnis et cibī sustulit.”
And I have such gratitude for old age, for it has increased my eagerness for conversation, while taking away [my hunger] for food and drink.
“Est ille plūs quam capit, et ingentī aviditāte onerat distentum ventrem ac dēsuētum iam ventris officiō, ut maiōre opera omnia ēgerat quam ingessit.”
He is [eating] more than he can hold, and with insatiable gluttony he overstuffs his distended gut — in fact already beyond the regular business of a belly — so that he will be expelling it all with more effort than [when] he packed it in.
