Sedere primo solitus in gradu semper
Tunc, cum liceret occupare, Nanneius
Bis excitatus terque transtulit castra,
Et inter ipsas paene tertius sellas
Post Gaiumque Luciumque consedit.
Illinc cucullo prospicit caput tectus
Oculoque ludos spectat indecens uno.
Et hinc miser deiectus in viam transit,
Subsellioque semifultus extremo
Et male receptus altero genu iactat
Equiti sedere Lei+toque se stare.
