Martial, bk. I. Epigr. 24.,
Invitae nullum, nisi cum quo, Cotta, lavaris, Et dant convivam balnea sola tibi. Mirabar, quare nunquam me, Cotta, vocasses. Iam scio, me nudum displicuisse tibi.
(You invite no man, Cotta, but your bathing companion; the Baths only supply a guest for you. I used to wonder, why you had never asked me; now I know that you did not like the look of me when naked). Comp. Martial, Bk. I. 97. bk. VII. 33. bk. IX. 34. Juvenal, Sat. VI. 373.
