Cod. Theod.

[porphyry]

Looking over old work from last year for formatting --but I still like this quotation from the Codex Theodosianus:


“If any person should hasten the fate of a parent…he shall be sewed in a leather sack, and confined within its deadly closeness, he shall share the companionship of serpents.” (9.15)

A viper among vipers, in fact. Very poetic.

*reluctantly admires Roman inventiveness, in a creeped-out sort of way*

Oh god...I've hastened the fate of many a parent in my job. Prepare a large sack!

Don't worry, I think it means your own parents.

Does that go for every kid who's mother (it's always Mother) ever said to them, "You're killing me!"?

Nice. But it makes me wonder whose law office you worked on this for.

The M3 firm I am sure you are familiar with.
