But as to Chilo, I should have given him five pieces of gold; but as it was thy will to flog him, it was better to flog him, for who knows but in time senators will bow to him, as to-day they are bowing to our cobbler-knight, Vatinius.
Ami pedig Chilont illeti, én öt aranyat adattam volna neki, de ha megvesszőztetted, hát már jobb lett volna halálra vesszőzni, mert ki tudja, hogy nem fognak-e még neki a senatorok köszöngetni, mint ahogy Kaptafa lovagunknak, Vatiniusnak köszöngetnek.
