Agrius, Tu, inquit, tibicen non solum adimis domino pecus, sed etiam servis peculium, quibus domini dant ut pascant, atque etiam leges colonicas tollis, in quibus scribimus, colonus in agro surculario ne capra natum pascat; quas etiam astrologia in caelum recepit, non longe ab tauro.
You and your piping, retorted Agrius, are not only robbing the master of his flock and the slaves of their peculium'the grazing which their master allows them'but you are even abrogating the homestead laws, among which we find one reciting that the settler may not graze a young orchard with the offspring of the she-goat, a race which astrology, too, has placed in the heavens, not far from the Bull.
