“cum geminum partum edidisset”

When gave birth to the twin sons

“PAMPHILUS: Immō, etiam! Nam satis crēdō sī advigilāverīs, / ex ūnīs geminās mihi cōnficiēs nūptiās! PAMPHILUS: On the contrary, yes! For I’m quite sure that if you remain vigilant, out of one you will bring about two weddings for me! (The meaning in its comical context: although two couples are in love, Pamphilus’s upcoming wedding has been arranged to the “wrong” woman. The plurals unīs and geminās agree with nuptiās, as in the series of rituals that formed an ancient Roman wedding.)”
