Verania Pisonis graviter iacebat , huius dico Pisonis , quem Galba adoptavit . Ad hanc Regulus venit . Primum impudentiam hominis , qui venerit ad aegram , cuius marito inimicissimus , ipsi invisissimus fuerat !
Verania , the wife of Piso , was lying very ill - I mean the Piso who was adopted by Galba . Regulus paid her a visit . First mark the impudence of the man in coming to see the invalid , for he had been her husband ' s bitter enemy and she loathed and detested him .
Verania , the widow of Piso , the Piso , I mean , whom Galba adopted , lay extremely ill , and Regulus paid her a visit . By the way , mark the assurance of the man , visiting a lady who detested him herself , and to whose husband he was a declared enemy !
