“Male etiam, quī peregrīnōs urbibus ūtī prohibent eōsque exterminant.”

“SĪMŌ: Vēnit Chremēs postrīdiē ad mē clāmitāns: / “Indignum facinus!” — comperisse Pamphilum / prō uxōre habēre hanc peregrīnam.”

SIMO: The next day Chremes came to me in an uproar: “Such a disgraceful scandal!” — He’d found out that Pamphilus was treating this foreign woman as his wife. (A citizen of Athens or of Rome could not legally marry a non-citizen; the “peregrinam” is the namesake of the play — the woman from Andros — whose character is named Glycerium.)
