Note 347 — JUVENAL'S SATIRES. (continued 2)

Lewis Evans translation

Anabathra, the seats rising one above another in the form of a theatre. Subsellia, those in the body of the room. Orchestra, the hired chairs in front of all, for his knightly guests. Holyday quaintly says no patron cared

"What the orchestra cost raised for chief friends, And chairs recarried when the reading ends."

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
