Notes about the wording

• The citation is given in slightly different wording, e.g. with 'nihil' instead of 'nil', on some citation lists on the web.
• According to Joyce Crane "the construction 'a me' would seem to point to a Spanish language bias. Latin is a highly inflected language, which does not need such a construction", and writes the citation like this:
  Homo sum me nihil humani alienum puto
