Translation
[sc. Means] you utter, you speak.1
For when going out of the school Zeno of Citium tripped and broke a toe. And after striking the ground with his hand, he cited a line from the Niobe: "I am coming, why do you call me?",2 and immediately died by holding his own breath. He lived for ninety years free from sickness, but others say that he lived fifty-eight years.3
