““Servī sunt!” Immō hominēs. “Servī sunt!” Immō contubernālēs. “Servī sunt!” Immō humilēs amīcī. “Servī sunt!” Immō cōnservī, sī cōgitāverīs tantundem in utrōsque licēre Fortūnae.”
“They’re slaves!” [someone might say]. Rather, [they’re] human beings. “They’re slaves!” No, housemates. “They’re slaves!” Instead, humble friends. “They’re slaves!” On the contrary, fellow slaves — if you have considered that Fortune is allowed just as much [power] over both [slaves and free people]. (Given Seneca’s rhetorical styling of rhythmic repetition in compact Latin, the English translator must decide whether to repeat the same word or phrase, or to vary the word choices — as seen here.)
“SŌSIA: Dictum putā: / nempe ut cūrentur rēctē haec? SĪMŌ: Immō aliud.”
SOSIA: Consider it as said: namely, that these [preparations] be properly taken care of? SIMO: On the contrary, [there’s] something else.
“vīvit? immō vērō etiam in senātum venit;”
