“Nam equidem, postquam gnatus sum⟳, numquam aegrotavi unum diem, neque ego insanio⟳ neque pugnas neque ego litis coepio⟳.”
1912 translation by Henry Thomas Riley Why, in fact, since I was born, I have never for a single day been ill. I'm neither mad, nor do I commence strifes or quarrels.
“Venit hoc mihi, Megadore, in mentem, ted esse hominem divitem, factiosum, me autem esse hominem pauperum pauperrimum; nunc si filiam locassim meam tibi, in mentem venit te bovem esse et me esse asellum: ubi tecum coniunctus siem, ubi onus nequeam ferre pariter, iaceam ego asinus in luto,”
1916 translation by Paul Nixon Now here's the way it strikes me, Megadorus,—you're a rich man, a man of position: but as for me, I'm poor, awfully poor, dreadfully poor. Now if I was to marry off my daughter to you, it strikes me you'd be the ox and I'd be the donkey. When I was hitched up with you and couldn't pull my share of the load, down I'd drop, I, the donkey, in the mud; and you, the ox, wouldn't pay any more attention to me than if I'd never been born at all.
“Ego patri meo⟳ esse fateor⟳ summas divitias domi”
1912 translation by Henry Thomas Riley I confess that my father has very great wealth at home, and that I am born of a very noble family
