  1. to summon to put to shame bard dici

    ...best I could find


  2. advocate = advocate, attorney, lawyer

    infame = shame/ shameful [like in "Osculum infame" = The shameful kiss/ The kiss of shame]

    vatem = poet/ fortune teller

    dici = said

    I believe that is "the shameful advocate said to the poet/fortune teller"...

  3. Lawyer said shame (liar) to the Oracle..

    This is a system saying of old Romans..The Oracle (Vates) were persons in old Rome that preach the truth..and future..

    So it is an "absurdity" because it is known (from all) that lawyers say a lot of (falsehood) lies..

    In Italy we say "il bue dice cornuto all'asino"..Literary traslation " The caw says choir to the donkey "

    Said..because (dico-is .dici dictum dicere)  is in past tense..

    dcit .. he say

    dici.. he said
