mula
Οὐ γὰρ ἀργίας ὤνιον ἡ ὑγίεια καὶ ἀπραξίας, ἅ γε δὴ μέγιστα κακῶν ταῖς νόσοις πρόσεστι, καὶ οὐδὲν διαφέρει τοῦ τὰ ὄμματα τῷ μὴ διαβλέπειν καὶ τὴν φωνὴν τῷ μὴ φθέγγεσθαι φυλάττοντος ὁ τὴν ὑγίειαν ἀχρηστίᾳ καὶ ἡσυχίᾳ σῴζειν οἰόμενος → For health is not to be purchased by idleness and inactivity, which are the greatest evils attendant on sickness, and the man who thinks to conserve his health by uselessness and ease does not differ from him who guards his eyes by not seeing, and his voice by not speaking

mūla: ae (
I abl. plur. mulabus: data et vehicula cum mulabus ac mulionibus, Capitol. Ver. 5; Tert. Uxor. 2, 8; Prisc. p. 733 P.), f. mulus, a she-mule; also, in gen., a mule (used instead of horses for drawing carriages or bearing litters): ex asino et equā mula gignitur, Plin. 8, 44, 69, § 171; Juv. 7, 181.—She-mules bear no young, Plin. l. l. § 173. Hence: mulae partus a te prolatus est: res mirabilis propterea, quia non saepe fit, Cic. Div. 2, 22, 49; cf. id. ib. 1, 18, 36: hoc monstrum fetae conparo mulae, Juv. 13, 66.—Hence, prov.: cum mula peperit, when a mule foals, i. e. never, Suet. Galb. 4.
