Εὐκαταφρόνητός ἐστι σιγηρὸς τρόπος → A way of life disposed to silence is contemptible → Taciturna facile ingenia contemni solent → Gemein ist ein Charakter, über den man schweigt

părăsĭōpēsis: is, f., = παρασιώπησις,
I a figure of rhetoric, where one says he will not speak of such and such a thing, but, in the very act of so doing, suggests it: parasiopesis: hoc est, cum aliquid nos reticere dicimus et tamen tacitum intellegitur, Rutil. Lup. Fig. Sent. 2, 11.
