Summary

EXERCISE 1.

1. Ego populi Romani suffragiis consul (7) sum factus, tibi (5) ab (8, a) hostibus humani generis favetur. 2. Tres jam dies (9, a) obsessum erat oppidum, quarto die expugnatum est. 3. Hos ad te (6) nuntios mense Januario misi. 4. Si tibi parebitur, parcetur mihi. 5. Ager ille ab hostibus ferro et igni vastatus erat. 6. Mihi invidetur, tu vero contemneris. 7. Favet fortuna fortibus (5), felicibus interdum invidet. 8. Quum ad urbem prima luce pervenisset (14) principes arcessivit. 9. Tibi ego nunquam nocui, mihi vero semper invidisti et amicos meos odisti. 10. Quo (Intr. 58), (or quibus or qua re) audito, (or quod cum audivisset,) tres horas constitit, meridie vero rursus iter incepit. 11. Haec locutus (14, a) porrectā dexterā viam ei (6, and see 243) monstravit.

Great care should be taken to correct and explain such mistakes in this Exercise as violate the preceding rules. No advance should be made till it can be done correctly, and the constructions explained.

Some attention should also be paid to the order, so far at all events as to disallow mere English order. Attention might be called to the inversion of the order in 4 and 7 (Intr. 107); to the juxtaposition of tibi and ego in 9 (Intr. 106).
