Social Commentaries
Piutro will not receive the rhetor Marcus when dead, saying, “Let our one dog Cerberus be enough here ; but if thou wilt come in at any cost, declaim to Ixion, Melito‘ the lyric poet, and Tityus. For I have no evil worse than thee, until the day when Rufus the grammarian shall come here with his solecisms.”’
