1. Et revera, quid ille nobis boni fecit? Dedit gladiatores sestertiarios iam decrepitos, 
quos si sufflasses, cecidissent; iam meliores bestiarios vidi. Occidit de lucerna equites;
putares eos gallos gallinaceos: alter burdubasta, alter loripes, tertiarius
mortuus pro mortuo, qui haberet nervia praecisa. [p. 99]

2. Trimalchio autem miti ad nos vultu respexit et: "Vinum, inquit, sinon placet, mutabo; vos illud oportet bonum faciatis. Deorum beneficio non emo, sed nunc quicquid ad salivam facit, in suburbano nascitur eo, quod ego adhuc non novi. Dicitur confine esse Tarraciniensibus et Tarentinis. Nunc coniungere agellis Siciliam volo, ut cum Africam libueritire, per meos fines navigem. [p. 117]

 3. Huius contubernalis ad villam supremum diem obiit. Itaque per scutum per
ocream egi aginavi, quemadmodum ad illam pervenirem: scitis autem, in

Nactus ego occasionem persuadeo hospitem nostrum, ut mecum ad quintum
miliarium veniat. [p. 131]

valde audaculum et qui valebat: poterat bovem iratum tollere. Hic

mediam traiecit. Audimus gemitum, et -- plane non mentiar -- ipsas non
vidimus. [p. 147]

5. Ego respiciens ad Ascylton: "Quid cogitas? inquam, ego enim si videro
balneum, statim expirabo. -- Assentemur, ait ille, et dum illi balneum
petunt, nos in turba exeamus".  Cum haec placuissent, ducente per porticum Gitone 
ad ianuam venimus,  ubi canis catenarius tanto nos tumultu excepit, ut Ascyltos etiam in
piscinam ceciderit. Nec non ego quoque ebrius, qui etiam pictum
timueram canem, dum natanti opem fero, in eundem gurgitem tractus
sum.  [165]
