Sidonius, "Implicatura"

By J. L. Speranza

for The Grice Club, &c.


Since Grice taught Latin at Rossall (for a year -- which would be more than enough, if you axe me. JLS), I´m providing the text for which I provide those forbidden interlinearis in "Sidonian Grice".

Enjoy!


"Longus alterii: quo disputat cum tuo vidis protagonistis heresiae Stoicis, Cynicis, Peripateticisque ligati vernaculis implicaturis ad laborem. Syllogismus barbus argumentati tui ligati linguis casuistis et tuu ligare suis quaestionem slipperiam categorialis clewis a-la intelligentis doctoris qui, quando compellati cogitatio rationcinativo preparat antidotem venenum atque serpentis."


"Far otherwise: whoever disputes with you will find those protagonists of heresy,
the Stoics, Cynics, and Peripatetics, shattered with their own familiar entanglements
ad laborem. Syllogismus barbus argumentati tui ligati linguis casuistis et tuu ligare suis quaestionem slipperiam categorialis clewis a-la intelligentis doctoris
qui, quando compellati cogitatio rationcinativo preparat antidotem venenum atque serpentis."
Tr. by W. B. Anderson (1885-1959),
posthumously published as revised
by E. H. Warmington, for the Loeb Classics,
1964.
