“Cūriō ad focum sedentī magnum aurī pondus Samnītēs cum attulissent, repudiātī sunt; nōn enim aurum habēre praeclārum sibi vidērī dīxit, sed eīs quī habērent aurum imperāre.”
When Curius was sitting by his hearth, the Samnites had brought a vast quantity of gold [as a bribe], [and] [their offers] were rejected. For he declared that, to his [mind], it did not seem splendid to possess gold, but rather to hold sway over those who did. (Third person plural, perfect passive indicative. See: Manius Curius Dentatus.)
