Nam qui quadringenta ad opus possunt parare, si adicient centum, habendo spem perfectionis delectationibus tenentur; qui autem adiectione dimidia aut ampliore sumptu onerantur, amissa spe et inpensa abiecta, fractis rebus et animis desistere coguntur.
For those who can provide 400,000 sesterces, and have to add 100,000, are content to be so bound, in the hope of completing the work: while those who are burdened with the addition of a half, or more of the expense, lose hope, and declining further expenditure are forced to give up with broken fortune and spirit.
