[193] Plautus, Poenul., I. 2. 54.,
An te ibi vis inter istas vorsarier
Prosedas, pistorum amicas, reliquias alicarias,
Miseras coeno delibutas, servilicolas, sordidas,
Quae tibi olent stabulum, statumque, sellam et sessibulum merum,
Quas adeo haud quisquam tetigit, neque duxit domum?
(It is your wish to pass your time there amongst those common strumpets, bakers’ mistresses, refuse of the spelt-mill girls, drabs besmeared with filth, slaves’ darlings, squalid creatures that reek of their stand and trade, of the chair and bare stool, women that no free man ever touched or took home?) This serves also to explain the passage in Juvenal, III. 136., Et dubitas alta Chionem deducere sella. (And you hesitate to hand down Chione from her high seat).
[194] Martial, XI. 45., I. 35. Usually however this appears only to have been done, when the customer was gratifying unnatural lusts.
[195] Plautus, Asin., IV. 1. 19., In foribus scribat, occupatam esse se. (Let her write on the door that she is engaged).
[196] Martial, XI. 62.,
