pro consule enim dicente mirari se quapropter sui tam similis esset, cum pater suus in eam provinciam numquam accessisset, at meus inquit Romam accessit: ioco namque lacessitam matris suae pudicitiam invicem suspicione in matrem eius regesta audacius quam virgis et securibus subiecto conveniebat ultus est.
The Proconsul said he wondered why the man looked so like himself, seeing that his father had never gone to that province. But mine went to Rome, was the reply. The chastity of his mother was impugned in jest and he avenged it by retorting the suspicion on to the governors mother, more boldly than befitted one subject to the rods and axes.
