Reading edition
Suetonius, Vita Jul. Caesaris chs. 49, 51, 52., where Curio, the Elder, calls him (Caesar) “omnium mulierum virum, et omnium virorum mulierem” (husband of all women, and wife of all men). The same indeed was said also of Alcibiades. In Athenaeus, Deipnos. bk. XII. p. 535., we read in a fragment of the Comic Poet Pherecrates:
Οὐκ ὢν ἀνὴρ γὰρ Ἀλκιβιάδης, ὡς δοκεῖ, ἀνὴρ ἁπασῶν τῶν γυναικῶν ἐστι νῦν.
(For not being a man at all, Alcibiades, it seems, is now husband of all our women).
