Exempla

““Nōn nōs aut ferrō Libycōs populāre Penātīs”

“We come neither to pillage by sword the household gods of Libya, nor to drive captured plunder to the shores.” (The plunder “driven” or “turned” implies taking herds of animals; it might also mean taking humans into slavery.)

“Vōs quoque, formīcae, subiectīs parcite grānīs:”

And you too, ants, act sparingly once the seed has been sown: after harvest there will be a greater abundance of plunder.
