Gaius Valerius Catullus, 74 "To Gellius: His Uncle"

Gellius sleeps with his aunt because his uncle chastises people that talk about sex.

 

Tier 1

Gellius audierat patruum (fratrem patris) solere male dicere de aliquo qui diceret aut faceret facta amoris.

 

ne hoc accideret Gellio ipso, Gellius futuit uxorem ipsam sui patrui, et fecit patruum suum Arpocratem, deus silentii.

 

Gellius fecit quod voluit nam, quamvis Gellius abutitur patruo suo, patruus non faciet verbum.
