Note 92 — FIRST DISCOURSE (continued 4)
A. R. (Alfred Richard) Allinson translation
P. 161:
◆The quotation as given in the text is mutilated and the words transposed. It should read:
“Si tibi simplicitas uxoria, deditus uni Est animus: ... ... Nil unquam invita donabis con juge: vendes Hac obstante nihil; nihil, haec si nolit, emetur.” Juvenal, Sat. VI, 205 sqq.
That is to say, “If you are attached solely and entirely to your wife, ... you will not be able to give a thing away, or sell or buy a thing, without her consent.”
