Note to Anon Hsv 112VII

[All]: Lat. parallel: (Dist. IV, 5) Cum fueris locuples, corpus curare memento: / aeger dives habet nummos, se non habet ipsum ‘When you become rich, remember to take care of your body; a sick rich man has wealth, but he does not have himself’. The contrast between wealth and health is also mentioned in Sól 8.
