pauperus (feminine paupera, neuter pauperum); first/second-declension adjective

   • c. 27 CE – 66 CE, Petronius, Satyricon XLVI.:

     Nōn es nostrae fasciae, et ideō pauperōrum verba dērīdēs. Scīmus tē prae litterās fatuum esse.

     • 1922 translation by W[illiam]. C[harles]. Firebaugh

       You don’t belong to our bunch, so you laugh in your sleeve at the way us poor people talk, but we know that you’re only a fool with a lot of learning.

       (literally, “It is not our territory, and therefore you mock the words of the poor. We know you to be a fool on account of letters.”)

使用する際の注意点

• As a convention, some dictionaries of Latin such as Gaffiot place all second/first-declension variant forms of this adjective under the headword pauperus; however, forms such as pauperōrum and paupera can equally go with nominative masculine singular pauper. Compare ācrus.
