LATIN COMPOSITION. TRANSLATE INTO ENGLISH: Nam reges Syriae, regis Antiochi filios, scitis Romae nuper fuisse; qui venerant non propter Syriae regnum, nam id sine controversia obtinebant ut a patre et a maioribus acceperant, sed regnum Egypti ad se et ad Selenen matrem suam pertinere arbitrabantur. Hi ipsi, posteaquam per senatum agere quae voluerant non potuerunt, in Syriam, in regnum patrium profecti sunt. Eorum alter, qui Antiochus vocatur, iter per Siciliam facere voluit; itaque isto praetore, venit Syracusas. TRANSLATE INTO LATIN : 7 4 8 These kings that I speak of1 had brought to Rome a candelabrum, made, with wonderful workmanship, of most brilliant gems, in order to set it up in the Capitol; but since they had found 10 the temple not yet finished, they determined " to take it back 12 to Syria. The matter came, I know not how 18, to the ears of this man; for the king had wished it kept-secret 14, -not because he feared or suspected 15 anything, but in order that not many persons should see it before the Roman people. This man begs 16 the king to send it to him, saying he wishes to examine 17 it, and will not let 18 others see it. 1 dico. 2 adfero. perficere. mirabilis. 5 opus. 3 6e. 7 clarus. 8 ponere. 9 quod. 10 offendere. 11 statuere. 12 reportare. 13 quomodo. 14 celare. 15 sus. picor. 16 petere ab. 17 inspicere. 18 potestatem facere.

CAESAR, SALLUST, AND OVID. [You are expected to translate two pieces of verse, and two of prose, by preference I., II., 1, 2-and to answer all the questions.] Bacchus and the Sailors. I.

(1) His difficultatibus duae res erant subsidio, scientia atque usus militum, quod superioribus proeliis exercitati quid fieri oporteret non minus commode ipsi sibi praescribere, quam ab aliis doceri poterant; et quod ab opere singulisque legionibus singulos legatos Caesar discedere, nisi munitis castris, vetuerat. Hi propter propinquitatem et celeritatem hostium, nihil jam Caesaris imperium exspectabant, sed per se, quae videbantur, administrabant. (2) Saepenumero, patres conscripti, multa verba in hoc ordine feci, saepe de luxuria atque avaritia nostrorum civium questus sum, multosque mortalis ea causa adversos habeo: qui mihi atque animo meo nullius umquam delicti gratiam fecissem, haud facile alterius lubidini male facta condonabam. Sed ea tametsi vos parvi pendebatis, tamen res publica firma erat: opulentia neglegentiam tolerabat. (3) Equestris autem proelii ratio et cedentibus et insequentibus par atque idem periculum inferebat. Accedebat huc, ut nunquam conferti, sed rari magnisque intervallis proeliarentur, stationesque dispositas haberent, atque alios alii deinceps exciperent, integrique et recentes defatigatis succederent. Postero die procul a castris hostes in collibus constiterunt, rarique se ostendere et lenius, quam pridie, nostros equites proelio lacessere coeperunt. (a) Give the syntax of subsidio (1), parvi (2) ; and either proeliarentur (3), or fecissem (2); and the parts of conferti (3). CICERO AND VIRGIL. [Translate two pieces of prose and two of poetry, and explain the construction of the words in italics under the extracts you choose.] 1. Quid tam inusitatum quam ut, cum duo consules clarissimi fortissimique essent, eques Romanus ad bellum maximum formidolosissimumque pro consule mitteretur? Missus est: quo quidem tempore cum esset non nemo in senatu qui diceret, non oportere mitti hominem privatum pro consule, L. Philippus dixisse dicitur, non se illum sua sententia pro consule, sed pro consulibns mittere. Mitteretur, tempore, oportere, mitti. 2. Neque enim quisquam est tam aversus a Musis qui non mandari versibus aeternum suorum laborum facile praeconium patiatur. Themistoclem illum, summum Athenis virum, dixisse aiunt, cum ex eo quareretur, quod acro |
