Axius' jackass thus cost $2,000, while Seius' income from his villa was $2,500 per annum, that of Varro's aunt from her aviary was $3,000, and that of Axius from his farm $1,500. Vitruvius, I, 6: "Andronicus Cyrrhestes built at Athens an octagonal marble tower, on the sides of which were carved images of the eight winds, each on the side opposite that from which it blew.
2 If Titius and Seius agreed that the former should take twothirds of the profits, and bear only onethird of the loss, and that the latter should bear twothirds of the loss, and take only onethird of the profits, it has been made a question whether such an agreement ought to be held valid.
Similarly, if he describe Stichus as 'the slave I bought from Seius, whereas in fact he bought him from some one else, the legacy is good, if it is clear what slave he intended to give.
"Am I any less able," replied Axius, "to have these things at my farm at Reate: is Sicilian honey made at Seius' place and only Corsican honey at Reate, and does the mast which he buys for his wild boars make them fat while that which I get for nothing from my woods makes mine lean?"
'A good man Caius Seius, only he is a Christian. So another, 'I marvel that that wise man Lucius Titius hath suddenly become a Christian. No one reflecteth whether Caius be not therefore good and Lucius wise because a Christian, or therefore a Christian because wise and good. They praise that which they know, they revile that which they know not.
The friends of Sempronius, who answered for his ability and inclination, might be separately sued at the option of Seius; and the benefit of partition, or order of reciprocal actions, insensibly deviated from the strict theory of stipulation.
Moreover, Sabinus was of opinion that a penal appointment of a coheir was void, as exemplified in the following: 'Be Titius my heir: if Titius gives his daughter in marriage to Seius, be Seius my heir also'; the ground of the invalidity being that it made no difference in what way Titius was constrained, whether by a legacy being left away from him, or by some one being appointed coheir.
After every meal the feeding place must be cleaned, for, while geese like a clean place, they never leave any place clean in which they have been." Of ducks The enclosure where they are kept should have a wall fifteen feet high, such as you saw at Seius' villa, with only one door opening into it.
"It is Seius' practice," said Merula, "to maintain his flocks of geese in accordance with the five rules I have laid down for poultry, namely: with respect to choice of individuals, breeding, eggs, goslings and the process of cramming.
Sextus Pompeius and Sextus Apuleius, at that time Consuls, took first the oath of fidelity to Tiberius; then administered it to Seius Strabo and Caius Turranius; the former Captain of the Praetorian Guards, the other Intendant of the Public Stores.
