Ῥίζα γὰρ πάντων τῶν κακῶν ἐστιν ἡ φιλαργυρίαRoot of all the evils is the love of money (Radix omnium malorum est cupiditas)

The Bible, 1 Timothy, 6:10

Latin > English (Lewis & Short)

vespae: et vespillones dicuntur, qui funerandis corporibus officium gerunt, non a minutis illis volucribus, sed quia vespertino tempore eos efferunt, qui funebri pompā duci propter inopiam nequeunt. Hi etiam vespullae vocantur. Martialis:
I qui fuerat medicus, nunc est vespillo Diaulus, Fest. p. 369 Müll.
