Translation
Nero's beloved; [the one] who was also called Sabina, not only on account of his likeness to [sc. Nero's] wife,1 because he had been castrated, but [also] because [Sporos] married him just like she had.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Σπόρος· ὁ Νέρωνος ἐρώμενος, ὃς καὶ Σαβίνα ἐκαλεῖτο, οὐ μόνον διὰ τὴν ὁμοιότητα τῆς γυναικός, ὅτι ἐξετέτμητο, ἀλλ' ὅτι καὶ ἐγήματο αὐτῷ ὥσπερ κἀκείνη.
