Do you ask why I am unwilling to marry a rich wife? It is because I am unwilling to be taken to husband by my wife. The mistress of the house should be subordinate to her husband, for in no other way, Priscus, will the wife and husband be on an equality.
I wont let a wife lead me to the altar. [I will not have a wife that shall be my master.]
Your seventh wife, Phileros, is now being buried in your field. No man's field brings him greater profit than yours, Phileros.
