If it's not enough for the whole volume, antoninus, just rip off the scrolls in half, or equivalent measure, and put the part you won't let me read back into the vault.

For the 40 aurii (1000 denarii/4000 sestercii, enough to buy a male slave/ugly female slave), just contact Jot, that's about what he owes me in prize money from contests (Beta torch race and SPQR)...

PS: and what do you mean you won't let me read the rest of it? I'm your husbandwife, well at least in promise, and still waiting you by the altar in Notre Dame. (or is this Saint-Sulpice?)
