Non supprimenda illius quoque damnatio qui pueruli sui nimio amore correptus, rogatus ab eo ruri ut omasum in cenam fieri iuberet, cum bubulae carnis in propinquo emendae nulla facultas esset, domito bove occiso desiderium eius explevit, eoque nomine publica quaestione adflictus est, innocens, nisi tam prisco saeculo natus esset.
Nor must I suppress the condemnation of a man who was swept away by excessive passion for a little boy of his. Asked by him in the country to order tripe for dinner, he satisfied the boys craving by killing a domestic ox, since there was no means of buying beef in the neighbourhood. For that reason he was condemned by a public court'innocent if he had not been born in so ancient an epoch.
