lat 524 A.D. II,5p
verumque illud est permultis eos indigere qui permulta possideant contraque minimum qui abundantiam suam naturae necessitate non ambitus superfluitate metiantur.
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
Uerumque illud est . permultis eos indigere . qui permulta possideant. Únde íst uuârez píuuúrte . dáz man chît . tér fílo hábet . tér bedárf óuh fílo. Contraque minimum.

(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
Et si rest ce veritéz : cil qui trop plus ont sont souffreteus de trop plus de choses et, encontre ce, moins sont soufireteus cil qui soupoisent et mesurent leur habondance par la necessité de nature, non mie par l’outrage de couvoitise.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
And sooth it is, that of manye thinges han they nede that manye thinges han; and ayeinward, of litel nedeth hem that mesuren hir fille after the nede of kinde, and nat after the outrage of coveityse.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D.
And this is true, that they neede many, that possesse muche. And agayne they lack leste, that mesure their own abundance by natures necessitie, not Ambitions greedynes.
