Caesar Tiberius cum petens Neapolim in Misenensem villam venisset suam, quae monte summo posita Luculli manu prospectat Siculum et respicit Tuscum mare, ex alte cinctis unus atriensibus, cui tunica ab umeris linteo Pelusio erat destricta, cirris dependentibus, perambulante laeta domino viridia, alveolo coepit ligneo conspargere humum aestuantem, iactans omcium comes; sed deridetur.
Once Tiberius Caesar on his way to Naples had reached his country seat at Misenum, which, built on the summit of the mountain by the hand of Lucullus, commands a view of the Sicilian sea in front and of the Tuscan sea behind. Here one of the high-girt flunkeys, whose shirt of Egyptian linen was drawn smoothly down from his shoulders and embellished with hanging fringes, began, while his master was strolling through the cheerful shrubbery, to sprinkle the scorching earth with a wooden watering-pot, making a display of his function as an attendant upon the emperor; but he was laughed at.
