1. Nec adhuc sciebamus nos in medio, quod aiunt, clivo laborare.

sunt capistris et tintinnabulis culti, quorum unum bimum nomenculator
esse dicebat, alterum trimum, tertium vero iam sexennem. [p. 111]

curabat. Intellexi illum versipellem esse, nec postea cum illo panem gustare potui, non si

habeam." [p. 141]

inter duos tortores maestus consistit. [p. 123]

tribunali sedentem praetextatum cum anulis aureis quinque et nummos in

suaviter facientem. [p. 159]
