In all the many years that I had spent on Manono, I had not once seen the boy Manaia he who had taken me from the water though I had heard of him as having been tattooed and grown into a tall man.

Cf. in Pisonem 73 pacis est insigne et oti toga, contra autem arma tumultus atque belli; De Or. 3, 167 'togam', pro 'pace', 'arma', ac 'tela', pro 'bello'.
