Quippe ita placuerat, in suburbana villa potius ut coniungeremur, ne cives denuo ad sportulas convolarent, cum haud pridem Pudentilla de suo quinquaginta milia nummum <in> populum expunxisset ea die, qua Pontianus uxorem duxit et hic puerulus toga est involutus, praeterea, ut conviviis multis ac molestiis supersederemus, quae ferme ex more novis maritis obeunda sunt.
For we had agreed to prefer a house outside of town for our marriage, so that the citizenry would not flock there again in hope of wedding favors. Not long before, Pudentilla had paid out fifty thousand sesterces of her own money to the people on the day Pontianus married and the boy here assumed the toga. Moreover, we wanted to dispense with the many banquets and nuisances that newlyweds usually have to go through according to custom.
