si una causa vel minima fuerit inventa, cur ego debuerim Pudentillae nuptias ob aliquod meum commodum appetere, si quamlibet modicum emolumentum probaveritis, ego ille sim Carmendas vel Damigeron vel his <maiores> Moses vel Iohannes vel Apollobex vel ipse Dardanus vel quicumque alius post Zoroastren et Hostanen inter magos celebratus est
if a single reason can be found, however slight, why I should have tried to marry Pudentilla for some advantage to myself, then call me the famous Carmendas or Damogeron, or their predecessors Moses, Iohannes, Apollobex, Dardanus himself, or any other celebrated magician since Zoroaster and Ostanes.
