Nonius Marcellus: On the Propriety of Language

The right edge of the text is cut off in the source image.

You might attach the word "age" to a torment of the silent.

If men could be captivated by charms,
All old women would have lovers now.
Age, and a tender body, and pliability,
These are the poisons of beautiful women:
A bad age finds no charms.
We also call youth or young age a "good age." M. Tullius Cicero in De senectute On Old Age:
If a good age enjoys pleasures more willingly, first it enjoys small things. And our most wise Maro Virgil called the first parts of the day, as if it were its youthful age, the better part in the ninth book:
Now indeed, since the better part of the day has passed.
Senium dotage/weariness itself is placed thus. Titinnius in Velitis:
What plague, dotage, and quarrels have they gathered for themselves in the days. Novius in Gallicinaria:
The works, which an actor, a singer, a runner, makes a dotage?.
Accius in Epinausimache: The sudden death of a friend,
Which to me is the most bitter dotage.
Pomponius in Praecone posteriore:
— Bald man, you bring a message
To us that is unequal, divided, for this old man dotage and fear.
Lucilius in the fifteenth book of the Satires:
In the number of whom now the first
Trebellius, many Titi, Lucii, narce...
dotage, vomiting, pus.
Turpilius in Demiurgo:
— because for me marriage is hateful and a source of dotage.
