Laudator Temporis Acti: Just the Facts

Just the Facts

Terence, Andria 873 (tr. Peter Brown):

Please just say what the facts of the matter are, and cut out the abuse!

rem potius ipsam dic ac mitte male loqui.

Terence, Adelphoe 795-796:

I'll cut out all the abuse: let's just reckon up the facts.

mitto maledicta omnia: / rem ipsam putemus.
