(a) astrologus, qui in villa Barbilli habitabat, erat vir ingenii pravi. astrologus et Petro inimici erant. astrologus Syrius, medicus Graecus erat. Petro artem medicinae in urbe diu exercuerat. multi Alexandrini, quos Petro sanaverat, artem eius laudabant. astrologus tamen in villa Barbilli habitabat, Petro in urbe Alexandria. facile igitur erat astrologo Barbillum visitare. ad cubiculum, in quo dominus aeger iacebat, saepe veniebat. ubi Petro aberat, astrologus in aurem domini dicebat, “in periculo maximo es, domine. Petro medicus pessimus est. paucos sanavit. multos aegros ad mortem misit. num Petroni confidis? Petro est vir avarissimus, nemo est avarior quam ille. pecuniam tuam cupit. necesse est tibi eum e villa expellere.” (b) tum Phormio nos ad ripam fluminis duxit, ubi scaphae, quas comparaverat, deligatae erant. postquam scaphas conscendimus, ad paludem, in qua crocodili latebant, caute navigavimus. ubi paludi appropinquavimus, aqua limosior fiebat, harundinesque densiores. postquam ad mediam paludem navigavimus, Barbillus Phormioni signum dedit. haedos Phormio in aquam iniecit. crocodili, ubi haedos caesos conspexerunt, praecipites eos petebant. sanguis haedorum crocodiles trahebat. tum Aethiopes crocodilos agitare coeperunt. hastas emittebant et crocodilos interficiebant. magna erat fortitudo crocodilorum, maior tamen peritia Aethiopum. mox multi crocodili mortui erant.

Crocodopolis There were many remarkable sights in Egypt which attracted large numbers of visitors. One of the famous places was Crocodopolis (Crocodile City).
Aristo cum Galatea et Helena in adversum Nilum navigabat. cum eis ibat Plancus, vir doctissimus, qui numquam tacebat. ad urbem Crocodopolim iter faciebant, ubi crocodilos sacros visitare volebant. in itinere amici templum antiquum Solis et pyramidas viderunt. hae res omnes delectaverunt. Plancum tamen valde delectaverunt, quod de monumentis notissimis garrire semper volebat. amici ad urbem Crocodopolim iam pervenerant. ad lacum contenderunt ubi habitabant crocodili sacri, quos sacerdotes curabant. hi sacerdotes, postquam spectatores prope aquam stantes viderunt, “audite, omnes,” clamaverunt. “nolite crocodilis appropinquare! periculosum est spectatoribus prope aquam stare.” sacerdotes cibum et vinum in ora crocodilorum posuerunt. spectatores sacerdotes fortes laudaverunt. tum Plancus, quod crocodilos propius videre volebat, ad extremam ripam processit. subito, circumspectans et garriens, in lacum inter crocodilos cecidit. crocodili celerrime fugerunt et Aristo Plancum ex aqua trahere poterat. Galatea Helenae dixit, “crocodili Plancum audire nolunt. feliciores sunt quam nos, qui ab eo effugere non possumus.” Vocabulary in adversum Nilum Crocodopolis, Crocodopolis Crocodopolim iter, itineris Sol, Solis pyramida, –ae garrio, garrire lacus, –us os, oris propius ad extremam ripam traho, trahere felix, felicis effugio, effugere
