Valeas qui bene futues. I didn't get this sentence, Present Subjunctive , ok, once you're wishing something to someone else, but why futues in the present future ?!O utinam liceat collo complexa tenere
Braciola et teneris oscula ferre labelis
I nunc, ventis tua gaudia, pupula, crede
Crede mihi, levis est natura virorum
Saepe ego cu media vigilare perdita nocte
Haec mecum meditas: multos Fortuna quos supstulit alte
Hos modo proiectos praecipitesque premit.
Sic Venus ut subito coiunxit corpora amantum
Dividit lux et se... (undeciphered words)

Oh I wish I could hold you with my arms around your neck and give kisses to your soft lips! Go now, entrust your joys to the winds, little girl. Believe me, shallow is the nature of men. Often, as I stayed awake in despair in the middle of the night, contemplating these things in my mind: many whom Fortune raised high, then she crushes them, thrown away head foremost. Thus, as soon as Venus united the bodies of the lovers, does sunlight separate them and...

Oh, now I see the answer for my previous question.. cacaturio, thanks!No. Cacavero is from caco, cacare (to shit); cacaturiero is from cacaturio, cacaturire (to need a shit).
It could simply be future tense. There's a chance that it's meant as present tense since i and e were sometimes confused, but I don't know if it's the case here.Valeas qui bene futues. I didn't get this sentence, Present Subjunctive , ok, once you're wishing something to someone else, but why futues in the present future ?!
Right away this one struck me as ungrammatical -- no, I'm not a native speaker of Latin ha ha. It was surprising to see the locative domī complementing a verb of motion (redīre) -- the semantics of the accusative seem better suited to this context, so I sought out an image of the original writing. I found one here, on the Ancient Graffiti Project website:Hic ego cum veni futui deinde redei domi.
Here when I came I fucked then I went back home.

Agreed! DOMV would be more likely, and it does indeed look like an i at the end there.[...] I guess it could be DOMV. It wasn't rare for final ms to be dropped in inscriptions. But that last long stroke does look like an i. [...]
