In quo non tam exspectabis Apicianas lautitias Vitellianaque fercula, quam convivium paene Socraticum - nisi quod fo carebis fortassis glande fabisque[1] (ni fallor) - non, quod erga talem amicum, qualis tu es, velim esse sordidus, sed ne post frequentes propinationes, quas mea ex part stain⌈[part]part stain⌉e tibi polliceor, oppleti pecuinis bellariis, Circe in Greek mythology a minor goddess of magic, living on the island of Aeaea⌊CyrcenCirce in Greek mythology a minor goddess of magic, living on the island of Aeaea⌋ iratam experiamur.
