Citation: nata mecum consule Buteo
Language: Latin
References: The Surgeon's Mate, page 117
Meaning: born with me, under Bute's consulate

Notes:


Romans referred to past dates, such as birth-years, by the name of the Consul who had served his one year term at that time — e.g., Horace, Odes III: nata mecum consule Manlio, addressed, as in O'Brian's text, to a bottle of wine. John Stewart, 3rd Earl of Bute, was Prime Minister for 12 months in 1762-3.
