Gaius Valerius Catullus, 113 "To Gaius Helvius Cinna: A Growing Collection"

Catullus explains to Cinna how Maecilia’s adultery has grown over the years.

 

Tier 1

dum Pompeius consul erat primum, duo amantes solebant cubare cum Maecilia:

 

nunc Pompeio consule iterum duo amantes iam adsunt,

 

sed sunt duo milia alii qui cubant cum Maecilia nunc. adulterium creat plus adulterii.
