cui consulatum gerenti cum Aetolorum gens omnis usus vasa argentea magno pondere et exquisita arte fabricata per legatos misisset, qui superiore tempore gratulandi causa ad eum profecti rettulerant fictilia se in eius mensa vasa vidisse, monitos ne continentiae quasi paupertati succurrendum putarent cum suis sarcinis abire iussit.
When he was Consul the Aetolian nation sent him silver vessels for all purposes of great weight and exquisite workmanship by the hand of envoys who had gone to thank him earlier on and reported having seen vessels of clay on his table. He advised them that they should not suppose continence to need assistance like poverty and told them to go away along with their baggage.
