“SĪMŌ: Hāc fāmā impulsus, Chremēs / ultrō ad mē vēnit, ūnicam gnātam suam / cum dōte summā fīliō uxōrem ut daret.”

SIMO: Inspired by [my son’s good] reputation, Chremes came to me of his own accord, so that he could offer his only daughter — with a huge dowry — as a bride to my son.

“‘saepe mihi Zephyrus ‘dōtēs corrumpere nōlī”

“Often Zephyrus said to me, ‘Don’t destroy your own dowry.’ My dowry was of no value to me.” (Flora (mythology) stopped caring for flowers when the early Romans neglected to worship her deity; Zephyrus, the west wind of spring, was her consort.)
