Misprint

Jeremy F. Hultin, The Ethics of Obscene Speech in Early Christianity and Its Environment (Leiden: Brill, 2008), p. 2 (footnote omitted):
Cicero says that there were words "nobody would have tolerated"; words "they dare not utter"; words in which there was something "shocking" or "outrageous" (flagitium), or which were simply "not allowed" (non licet) or which "you are not able" (non putes) to say (Fam. 9.22.4).
For putes read potes.
