Duo sodales hic fuerunt, et, cum diu malum
ministrum in omnia haberent
nomine Epaphroditum, vix tarde
eum foras exigerunt (:exegerunt).
Consumpserunt persuavissime cum fu`tu´ere ((sestertii)) CVS
Translation: | Two friends were here, and they had a servant named Epaphroditus who was terrible at everything for the whole time, so they finally kicked him out. (Then?) they spent 105 1/2 sestertii most delightfully when they had sex. |
