“fēsta diēs illīs, quī līna madentia dūcunt, quīque tegunt parvīs aera recurva cibīs The day [is] a festival for those who pull [their] dripping lines, and who hide [their] hooked bronze in little bits [of] food. (In other words, a holiday for fishermen, whose hooks are drawn with dripping lines. Although fishermen also use dripping nets, in that case rētia madentia would seem more likely word choices.)”
