Noctes Atticae
A. Gellius
Verba Catonis ex Originum quarto haec sunt: "Non lubet scribere quod in tabula apud pontificem maximum est, quotiens annona cara, quotiens lunae aut solis lumine caligo aut quid obstiterit."
His words in the fourth book of his Origins are as follows: "I do not care to write what appears on the tablet of the high priest: how often grain was dear, how often darkness, or something else, obscured the light of sun or moon."
