Exempla

“Quamvis et ipsi servi stomachati adversus zizania, consilium tamen et praeceptum a domino⟳ expetiverunt.”

(please add an English translation of this quotation)

“Spīnīs fulta subit seges horrida zizǎniōrum.”

Perishes the prickly crop of tares that grow from thorns.

“Refert⟳ sed ipsa nōsse, quae messem necant / zizāniōrum sēmina.”

Yet it's important for us to know the very seeds of the tares that kill the crop.

“5th century — Vulgate Bible, Matthaeus 13:26”

But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then also appeared the tares.
