Sermones
Q. Horatius Flaccus
hic simul accepit patrimoni mille talenta,edicit, piscator uti, pomarius, auceps,unguentarius ac Tusci turba impia vici,cum scurris fartor, cum Velabro omne macellummane domum veniant. quid tum? venere frequentes.
This man, soon as he received his patrimony of a thousand talents, decreed, in praetor-fashion, that fishmonger, fruit seller, fowler, perfumer, the Tuscan Street's vile throng, cooks and parasites, the whole market and Velabrum, should come to him next morning. What next? They came in crowds.
