Abstract
(Mimn., Fr.3 (3) D., p.52)
“The very father who, first was considered the greatest, as soon as the old age is approaching, is no more esteemed and loved by his children ”.
Prōuecta aetās […] plērīsque senibus sīc odiōsa est ut onus sē Aetnā grauius dīcant sustinēre (Cic., dē senect. 22,4 )
“For many old people to be well on years is so hateful that they maintain to stand a load heavier than Etna”.
