Et praeterea quid viatori de summa pauperie latrones auferre possunt? An ignoras, inepte, nudum nec a decem palaestritis despoliari posse? Ad haec ille marcidus et semisopitus in alterum latus evolutus, Unde autem inquit scio an convectore illo tuo, cum quo sero deverteras, iugulato fugae mandes praesidium? Illud horae memini me terra dehiscente ima Tartara inque his canem Cerberum prorsus esurientem mei prospexisse.
And besides, what can robbers take away from a traveller who is in total poverty? Or dont you know, you fool, that a naked man cannot be stripped, even by ten professional wrestlers? Then, groggy and half-slumbering, he rolled away on to his other side. How do I know, he asked, that you have not slit the throat of that travelling companion you came in with yesterday evening, and are running away to protect yourself? I remember that at that moment I saw the earth gape open and beheld the pit of Tartarus with the dog Cerberus there, ready to devour me.
