The Satires of Juvenal, Persius, Sulpicia, and Lucilius

Note 1835 — BOOK XXVI.

Lewis Evans translation

Depeculassere and deargentassere, are examples of the old form of a future infinitive ending in assere. Cf. Plaut., Amphit., I., i., 56, "Sese igitur summâ vi virisque eorum oppidum expugnassere." Decalauticare, "to deprive of one's hood," from calautica, "a covering for the head, used by women, and falling over the shoulders." It seems that Cicero charged Clodius with wearing one, when he was detected in Cæsar's house. "Tunc cum vincirentur pedes fasceis, cum calauticam capiti accommodares." Cic. in Clod. ap. Non., in voc. Decalicasse, is another reading.
