De Lingua Latina
M. Terentius Varro
Per trutinam solvi solitum: vestigium etiam nunc manet in aede Saturni, quod ea etiam nunc propter pensuram trutinam habet positam.
It was once the custom to pay by the use of a pair of scales; a trace of this remains even now in the Temple of Saturn, because it even now has a pair of scales set up ready for weighing purposes.
