qui balneo egressus ante pedes suos prostratum Hypsaeum ambitus reum, et nobilem virum et sibi amicum, iacentem reliquit contumeliosa voce proculcatum: nihil enim eum aliud agere quam ut convivium suum moraretur respondit; et huius dicti conscius securo animo cenare potuit.

For he told him that he was doing nothing but hold up his (Pompeys) dinner; and with this speech on his mind he could dine without a qualm.
