- Sub saxo quolibet dormit scorpio, cave.
- Scorpium octipedem contra te excitas.
- Scorpius quem excitas venenum in cauda gestat.
- Scorpium pro perca capere.
- Caput columbae, cauda scorpionis est.
- Sequere scorpionem, leonem et draconem, sed malam feminam non sequaris!

Hi Laura, second time in a month I found your blog by random search - fist time looking for the source of an unusual quote by the great lexicographer, Rudolph Goclenius. Today was trying to find the source for a proverb we learned in Fr. Gallagher's freshman Latin class, sixty years ago now: Under every rock sleeps a scorpion. Your site at least gives the Latin. Thank you so much - have subscribed to your blog. Sounds like something Cicero might say.
wow, it is so cool to see a blog post over 10 years old still making contact: monumentum aere perennius ha ha :-)
Well, just saw your response, when returning to your blog. monumentum aere perennis. That's great - will keep it in mind, and no doubt it will find a good use. Salve ab aethere. Richard Hawley Trowbridge
