C. Valerius Catullus, Carmen 103: To Silo: A choice

A short poem addressed to a man named Silo, about ten thousand sesterces.

 

Tier 1

Silō, sī tibi placet, aut redde mihi decem sēstertia, deinde potes esse tam saevus et tam indomitus quam vīs:

 

aut, sī vīs nummōs habēre, dēsine esse lēnō saevus et indomitus.
