[31] Fuit autem inter P. Africanum et Q. Metellum sine acerbitate dissensio.
[32] Cf. Diversisque duobus vitiis, avaritia et luxuria civitatem laborare.—Livy, xxxiv. 4.
[33] 'O Publius Gallonius, thou whirlpool of excess; thou art a miserable man, says he; never in thy life hast thou supped well, since thou spendest all thy substance in that lobster of thine and that monstrous sturgeon.'
'This too is the case at dinner, you will give oysters, bought at a thousand sesterces.'
