Laudator Temporis Acti: Busted

Busted

Terence, Heauton Timorumenos 563-564 (tr. John Barsby):

Didn't I see you just now putting your hand inside that woman's bosom?

vidin ego te modo manum in sinum huic meretrici
inserere?

Prostitute (meretrici), not woman. Peter Brown's translation is closer to the Latin in that respect:

Did I see you just now putting your hand in over the breasts of that tart?
