“Tí kolo vatry samí mlsaví dobrožrúti, s Lukullom a pribylým teď Apíciusom, jenž sám sa otrávil, by hladovou nemusel smrťou umreť, hoc mu premárnit zbývalo päťstotisíc hriven ešte zo statkov ohromných.”

Those around the bonfire were all gluttonous gourmands, with Lucullus and the newly arrived Apicius, who poisoned himself so that he wouldn't have to die of hunger — even though he still had five hundred thousand sesterces left from his vast wealth.
