Juvenal, Satires 10.232-236 (tr. Susanna Morton Braun): But worse than any physical decline is the dementia. It doesn't remember the names of slaves or recognise the face of a friend who dined with him the previous evening or the children he fathered and raised himself. sed omni membrorum damno maior dementia, quae nec nomina servorum nec voltum agnoscit amici cum quo praeterita cenavit nocte, nec illos 235 quos genuit, quos eduxit.
