Exempla

“[Agorastocles] Ita me di ament, tardo⟳ amico⟳ nihil est quicquam inaequius, praesertim homini amanti, qui quidquid agit properat omnia. Sicut ego hos duco⟳ advocatos, homines spissigradissimos,”

May gods so love me, nothing is more unfair than having a slothful friend, even more so for a man in love, who in doing anything must all expedite. So I lead them, having called them forth, the most slow-paced men of them all, slower than freight ships [corbitae] upon a quiet sea.

“Sed putabam, cum Regium venissem, fore ut illic ‘δολιχὸν πλόον ὁρμαίνοντες’ cogitaremus, corbitane Patras an actuariolis ad Leucopetras Tarentinorum atque inde Corcyram et, si oneraria, statimne freto an Syracusis. Hac super re scribam ad te Regio.”
