Dear Capfka: for the hell of it, I searched for "abolescent" and found a whole buch of typos that
should have been "adolescent". Some were funny. But I ti get one hit:
Magnae nationes stoicae crescent, epicureae abolescent! (Great nations rise stoic
and die epicurean!) ... And ancient Rome is a fine example. ...

PS: I doubt that "epicurean" really fitted the last of the Romans. "Effete" might be closer.
