Using a translation of Domitius Marsus’ Tibullus’ Epitaph, we intend to contribute to the analysis of the translation of Latin texts in Portuguese. We will compare the latin poem with a translation of it compiled in the 15th‐16th century poetic anthology Cancioneiro Geral, analyzing the literary and linguistic strategies followed by the poet Joao Rodrigues de Sa de Meneses to convey an understandable message to its audience without tampering the original ideas of the text. Keywords: Domitius Marsus; Tibullus’ Epitaph; Joao Rodrigues de Sa; Cancioneiro Geral; Portuguese; Latin.
