Phrase

porrō Quirītēs

  1. hither, ye Romans!
    • c. 105 BCE – 43 BCE, Decimus Laberius, Fragments 361 in Scaenicae Romanorum Poesis Fragmenta (volume I), Otto Ribbeck (editor), Leipzig 1897:
      Porrō, Quirītēs! lībertātem perdimus.

    • c. 1st C. CE, various authors, Priapeia 26.1–6:
      Porrō―nam quis erit modus?―Quirītēs,
      aut praecīdite sēmināle membrum,
      quod tōtīs mihi noctibus fatīgant
      vīcīnae sine fīne prūrientēs
      vērnīs passeribus salāciōrēs,
      aut rumpar, nec habēbitis Priāpum.
      Hither―for what measure will there be?―Romans,
      either cut me the seminal member,
      which in all the nights exhaust
      the neighbour women, endlessly itching
      more lecherous than the springtime sparrows,
      or I’ll break, and you’ll have no Priapus.
    • c. 125 CE – 180 CE, Apuleius, Metamorphoses 8.29.5:
      Nec diū tāle facinus meīs oculīs tolerantibus, “Porrō Quirītēs” prōclāmāre gestīvī
      And, my eyes not tolerating such a travesty any longer, I struggled to cry out “Hither, ye Romans”
