Latin
Suetonius - Section D
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| petulantiam, libidinem, luxuriam, avaritiam, crudelitatem sensim quidem primo et occulte et velut iuvenili errore exercuit, | He practiced, at least at first, impudence, desire, extravagence, greed and cruelty gradually both in secret and as if in youthful error, |
| sed ut tunc quoque dubium nemini foret naturae illa vitia, non aetatis esse. | but then also so that no-one could doubt that those faults were of his character, not his age. |
| post crepusculum statim adrepto pilleo vel galero popinas inibat circumque vicos vagabatur ludibundus nec sine pernicie tamen, | Immediately after dark, when he had seized a hat or a wig, he used to go into taverns and used to wander around the streets in a playful mood, however not without mischief, |
| siquidem redeuntes a cena verberare ac repugnantes vulnerare cloacisque demergere assuerat, | and if indeed (he met anyone), he was accustomed to beat people returning from dinner and to stab those who fought back and plunge them in the sewers. |
| tabernas etiam effringere et expilare; quintana domi constituta, ubi partae et ad licitationem dividendae praedae pretium absumeretur. | and even to break into and plunder shops; when a street-market had been organised at his house, and when the acquired spoils were divided for bidding, the proceeds were wasted. |
