Epigram XCII. — To a Lawyer who had a faithless Wife
Translated by Hugh G. Evelyn-White (1919–21) · From Book XIX. — Epigrams of Ausonius on Various Matters
Living
A LAWYER who had a faithless wife approved of the Papian statute but disapproved of the Julian. Do ye ask why this difference? Effeminate himself, fearing the Scantinian, he feared not the Titian Law.
