| Context | Cicero reports response of a painter when convicted under the lex Papia; text and context uncertain, but wordplay seems to revolve around 'Papian' and 'Paphian' (Shackleton Bailey). |
| Comments | Text uncertain. Shackleton Bailey: "the Greek could be a quotation, as οὐ σοὶ μερὶς ἅμα Παφιῃ - the sort of remark that might have been made to Hera or Athene on Mt Ida. But we are never likely to know". |
