Laudator Temporis Acti: Senility

Senility

Aristophanes, Wealth 1066 (my translation):

Inasmuch as you're an old man, I think you're insane.

γέρων ἀνὴρ ὢν οὐχ ὑγιαίνειν μοι δοκεῖς.

Suetonius, Life of Claudius 15.4 (tr. J.C. Rolfe):

You are both an old man and a fool.

καὶ σὺ γέρων εἶ καὶ μωρός.
