pretia vero grammaticorum tanta mercedesque tam magnae, ut constet Lutatium Daphnidem, quem Laevius Melissus per cavillationem nominis Panos  dicit, DCC. milibus nummum a Q. Catulo emptum ac brevi manumissum, L. Appuleium ab Eficio Calvino equite Romano praedivite quadringenis annuis conductum ut Oscae doceret.
The grammarians too were so highly esteemed, and their compensation was so ample, that Lutatius Daphnis, whom Laevius Melissus, punning on his name, often called the darling of Pan, is known to have been bought for seven hundred thousand sesterces and soon afterwards set free, while Lucius Appuleius was hired for four hundred sesterces a year by Eficius Calvinus, a wealthy Roman knight, to teach at Osca.
