XLII

Tota vocor graece, sed non sum tota latine.
Pauperibus semper proponor praeque tabernis
In terris nascor, lympha lavor, ungor olivo.

Peck:

Not wholly Latin, though I'm wholly Greek,
And me, in little shops, the humble seek;
Born in the ground, with water washed, of oil I reek.

Ohl:

I am whole in Greek, but I am not whole in Latin. For indeed I am always proffered in poor taverns. I am born in earth, washed in water, dressed with olive-oil.
