This is an automatically translated description

The Centurions is one of the oldest known collections of "winged sayings", compiled in the first century A.D. The sayings (sentences) are selected from mimes, comic performances of a rather mundane nature, authored by Publius Syrus, a former slave and later a successful author and actor. "The Sentences are poetic aphorisms, often based on wordplay and unexpected turns of thought, which contain apt observations on the nature of man and society, moral and political maxims.

The Sentences are translated into Ukrainian with the reproduction of the original verse form for the first time.
