     SĪMŌ: Sī propter amōrem uxōrem nōlet dūcere, / ea prīmum ab illō animum advortenda injūriast.

     SIMO: If [my son] refuses to marry because of love, that is the first wrong of his which [I could have him] reconsider.
     (Elision: iniuriast = iniuria + est. Idiom: “uxorem ducere,” literally “to lead a wife”, i.e., to marry. Another idiom: “animum advortenda” means, more literally, “attention must be turned away from”. In this context, Simo is implying that he will rebuke his son for acting this way.)
