36 - De Sacerdote Qui Caniculum Sepelivit



Erat sacerdos rusticanus in Tuscia admodum opulentus. Hic caniculum sibi carum, cum mortuus esset, sepelivit in coemeterio. Sensit hoc Episcopus, et, in ejus pecuniam animum intendens, sacerdotem veluti maximi criminis reum ad se puniendum vocat. Sacerdos, qui animum Episcopi satis noverat, quinquaginta aureos secum deferens, ad Episcopum devenit. Qui sepulturam canis graviter accusans, jussit ad carceres sacerdotem duci. Hic vir sagax: «O Pater,» inquit, «si nosceres qua prudentia caniculus fuit, non mirareris si sepulturam inter homines meruit; fuit enim plus quam ingenio humano, tum in vita, tum praecipue in morte. «Quidnam hoc est?» ait Episcopus. «Testamentum,» inquit sacerdos, «in fine vitae condens, sciensque egestatem tuam, tibi quinquaginta aureos ex testamento reliquit, quos mecum tuli.» Tum Episcopus et testamentum et sepulturam comprobans, accepta pecunia, sacerdotem absolvit.
