 1 1  |         conclusion that Sicinius Aemilianus would for sheer lack of
 2 1  | accusation. ~The result was that Aemilianus, perceiving that you, Maximus,
 3 2  |          in question is Sicinius Aemilianus, who, if he had discovered
 4 3  |   impulsively in my defence; for Aemilianus is deliberately accusing
 5 3  |        accusation. Knowing this, Aemilianus' advoc ates, only a short
 6 8  |          therefore, if my critic Aemilianus would answer me and tell
 7 8  |          Certainly, if like you, Aemilianus, he never opens his mouth
 8 10 |         and the boy Alexis. ~But Aemilianus, whose rusticity far surpasses
 9 10 |        persist in this attitude, Aemilianus, if I can show that my verses
10 11 |        the same type. Come now , Aemilianus, I dare you to say that
11 12 |       would know the real truth, Aemilianus, or if you are capable of
12 16 |         had only read this book, Aemilianus, and, instead of devoting
13 17 |          You don't know, really, Aemilianus, you don't know how to accuse
14 19 |         opulence? You are wrong, Aemilianus, you are wholly mistaken
15 20 |     wealth contempt. ~Therefore, Aemilianus, if you wish me to be regarded
16 22 |          if you will believe me, Aemilianus, was a man of great wealth
17 23 |       patrimony. But as for you, Aemilianus, and ignorant boors of your
18 23 |         contain. ~But I beg you, Aemilianus, in future to abstain from
19 24 |          mention this? That you, Aemilianus, may be less angry with
20 25 |     calumny behind. The whole of Aemilianus' calumnious accusation was
21 28 |        annoyance and distress to Aemilianus. Hence springs all the anger,
22 29 |         now, as I promised, take Aemilianus' ravings one by one, beginning
23 29 |       these grounds, I would ask Aemilianus to tell me what, failing
24 32 |         you, we will assume with Aemilianus that fish are useful for
25 36 |         affairs, I will now tell Aemilianus why I have examined so many
26 36 |      from my `magic' works, that Aemilianus may learn that my sedulous
27 38 |       mintage. Do you deny this, Aemilianus? If so, let your advocates
28 44 |        day before yesterday that Aemilianus demanded that we should
29 44 |          to your tender mercies, Aemilianus, and would be ready to hold
30 45 |       have been easier fo r you, Aemilianus, and your evidence would
31 46 |       names, do you at any rate, Aemilianus, come forward and tell us
32 52 |                        52] ~Yes, Aemilianus, if you would hear the truth,
33 54 |         household gods?' Really, Aemilianus! Is this the way you accuse
34 55 |         that this path opens for Aemilianus, on the floods of perspiration
35 55 |     acknowledge, and will answer Aemilianus' questions. You ask, Aemilianus,
36 55 |  Aemilianus' questions. You ask, Aemilianus, what I had in that handkerchief. ~
37 56 |           among them that fellow Aemilianus, think it a good jest to
38 57 |   passing from the suspicions of Aemilianus to the evidence of Crassus,
39 58 |        he lived there! Nonsense, Aemilianus! T here is no probability
40 59 |   Sabrata belching in your face, Aemilianus, in the most conspicuous
41 59 |      They will answer `yes'. Let Aemilianus then produce this most admirable
42 59 |       moment. ~Or it may be that Aemilianus took good care not to subject
43 59 |        offers today. For he sold Aemilianus his dru nken fictions for
44 60 |          would be prejudicial to Aemilianus, who wasted his money to
45 60 |           I wished not only that Aemilianus should lose his money, but
46 60 |        to a helpless rustic like Aemilianus. ~
47 64 |          in return for that lie, Aemilianus, may that same god who goes
48 65 |    sorcery; I will not tell you, Aemilianus, who it is that I worship
49 66 |        motiva for resentment has Aemilianus against me, even assuming
50 66 |    common, it would not apply to Aemilianus. It would not have been
51 66 |         in the case of a greater Aemilianus, not our African friend
52 68 |         retrace events and force Aemilianus himself to admit, whenhe
53 69 |         more so than that fellow Aemilianus, who a little while back
54 69 |       memory. Had you forgotten, Aemilianus, that before I came to Oea,
55 69 |     letter, or better give it to Aemilianus and let him refute himself
56 70 |                    70] ~Did you, Aemilianus, write what has just been
57 71 |      admit feeling surprise that Aemilianus and Rufinus should be annoyed
58 71 |         of her son, a fact which Aemilianus cannot deny. For Pontianus
59 74 |          scourge that has driven Aemilianus here to his task. He makes
60 78 |         of Pontianus' secretary. Aemilianus also was there and c ountersigned
61 83 |                        83] ~Now, Aemilianus, try to remember whether
62 87 |          bring myself to believe Aemilianus such a fool as to think
63 88 |       This is the whole r eason, Aemilianus, why our marriage contract
64 89 |     Please hand the documents to Aemilianus. Let h im examine the linen
65 90 |         magic. I ask Rufinus and Aemilianus to answer me and tell me --
66 92 |       settlement. It may be that Aemilianus will still refuse to believe
67 96 |          here. Do you dare then, Aemilianus, to match yourself against
68 98 |          from our influence. For Aemilianus is backing Rufinus and desires
69 98 |      sudden affection which you, Aemilianus, have begun to show for
70 99 |       this point of concern from Aemilianus and showed him such an unexpected
71 100|         it rather t o the greedy Aemilianus and the matchmaking Rufinus
72 100|          fled from your bosom to Aemilianus and Rufinus, who afterwards
