Cn. Domitius L. Crasso collegae suo altercatione orta obiecit, quod columnas Hymettias in porticu domus haberet. quem continuo Crassus quanti ipse domum suam aestimaret interrogauit, atque ut respondit 'sexagies sestertio', 'quanto ergo eam' inquit, 'minoris fore existimas, si decem arbusculas inde succidero?' 'ipso tricies sestertio' Domitius. tunc Crassus: 'uter igitur luxuriosior est, egone, qui decem columnas centum milibus nummum emi, an tu, qui decem arbuscularum umbram tricies sestertii summa conpensas?' sermonem oblitum Pyrri, inmemorem Hannibalis iamque transmarinorum stipendiorum abundantia oscitantem! et quanto tamen insequentium saeculorum aedificiis et nemoribus angustiorem † quam introduxerunt atque inchoatam a se lautitiam posteris relinquere quam a maioribus acceptam continentiam retinere maluerunt.
Valerius Maximus. Factorvm et Dictorvm Memorabilivm, Libri Novem. Karl Friedrich Kempf. Leipsig. Teubner. 1888. Keyboarding.
