Are you sure it's 3? I thought it was "Duties I, I, I" about putting yourself first, middle and last. How about "I, Claudius"?

How about "I, Claudius"? Quit peeking beneath my toga.I thought it was "Duties I, I, I" about putting yourself first, middle and last. This is quite eerie. I was reading NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND last night where the protagonist starts stuttering for what appears to be no specific reason.Actually, I think [therefore I am ] that there were 3 letters, but the third is themost interesting.Victus.
