omnia fīnierat: tenuēssēcessit in aurās. mānsit odor: possēs scīre fuisse deam.
[Her story] was all finished:She withdrew into gentle breezes. Her fragrance remained: You might know a goddess had been [there]. (Ovid concludes his poetic dialogue withFlora (mythology).)
Dig. XVII.I.16Ulpianus libro trigensimo primo ad edictum
Si quis mihi mandaverit in meo aliquid facere et fecero, quaesitum est, an sit mandati actio. Et ait Celsus libro septimo digestorum hoc respondisse se, cum Aurelius Quietus hospiti suo medico mandasse diceretur, ut in hortis eius quos Ravennae habebat, in quos omnibus annissecedere solebat, sphaeristerium et hypocausta et quaedam ipsius valetudini apta sua inpensa faceret: deducto igitur, quanto sua aedificia pretiosiora fecisset, quod amplius impendisset posse eum mandati iudicio persequi.
If someone mandates me to do something in my own business and I have done it, it is to be asked if a mandate claim arises. AndCelsus says in the seventh book of his digests that it is to answer that when Aurelius Quietus tells his guest who is a physician and has gardens in Ravenna where hewithdraws all years to build a sphaeristerium and hypocausts and certain other things which further his fitness by his own outlay this claim can be pursued offsetting the sum by which it has added to the value of the buildings, that is the outlay that goes beyond this.
Haec quo die feceris, necessaria, eadem, si cotidie fecisse te reputes, inania videntur, multo magis cumsecesseris.
All of these seem necessary on the day in which you were doing them. However, if you reflect upon what you have accomplished, they appear inane—much more so when youretire.
