A Man is first an Infant, 1. │ Homō est prīmum Īnfāns, 1.

then a Boy, 2. │ deinde Puer, 2.

then a Youth, 3. │ tum Adolēscēns, 3.

then a Young-man, 4. │ inde Juvenis, 4.

then a Man, 5. │ posteā Vir, 5.

after that an Elderly-man, 6. │ dehinc Senex, 6.

and at last, a decrepid old man, 7. │ tandem Silicernium, 7.

silicernium: This was said to be the name of a funeral entertainment or dish of meats offered up to the spirits of the dead in silence. It could also be used in a derogatory way to describe a very old man.

Ego tē exercēbō hodiē ut dignus es, silicernium. (Terence)
