Readded deleted half-sentence
I restored a half-line deleted 10 months ago which had the edit summary: "no account of them having sex appears in Apuleius' Florida", because its untrue. It is mentioned, not of course in any online translation (because they're all 100 years old), but its certainly in the Latin: "Duxit Cynicus in porticum; ibidem, in loco celebri, coram luce clarissima accubuit, coramque virginem imminuisset paratam pari constantia, ni Zeno procinctu palliastri circumstantis coronae obtutum magistri in secreto defendisset." Basically, they head off to the portico to couple, and their pupil Zeno tries to hide them with his cloak out of shame. The story is of course very dubious, but it was subsequently mentioned by a number of Christian writers as well. Pasicles (talk) 22:37, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
