Quid etiam est, Aemiliane, quod non te iudice refutaverim? Quod pretium magiae meae repperisti? Cur ergo Pudentillae animum veneficiis flecterem? Quod ut ex ea commodum caperem? Uti dotem mihi modicam potius quam amplam diceret? O praeclara carmina! An ut eam dotem filiis suis magis restipularetur quam penes me sineret? Quid addi ad hanc magiam potest?
What else is there, Aemilianus, that I have failed to refute, in your opinion? What reward for my magic have you uncovered? Why then should I have used magic to change Pudentillas mind? What good did I intend to get from her? That she should promise me a modest dowry, not a large one? Fine spells I must have used. Was it that she should give her sons the reversion of the dowry and not leave it with me? What better magic than that could there be?
