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)

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.
