Examples

“[…] ultro / hortantem et fessas ad pabula nota vocantem”

[…] freely / calling them and exhorting the weary insects to eat their familiar food.

“Sī vērō habet aliquod tamquam pābulum studī atque doctrīnae, nihil est ōtiōsā senectūte iūcundius. If, indeed, it possesses some nourishment, so to speak, for study and learning, nothing is more delightful than a leisurely old age. (Note how Cicero uses tamquam to signal that the word pābulum has a figurative meaning in this context.)”
