CRIME (lines 1-14)
Postquam Aurelia cubitum iit, Cornelius
adhuc in atrio manebat sollicitus. Eucleides
enim mane ierat domum redierat. Quid ei
acciderat?
FABULA
Tandem intravit Eucleides, sanguine
aspersus. Cornelius, “Di immortales! Quid
tibi accidit? Clamavit. Eucleides nihil
respondit; ad terram ceciderat. Statim servi
ad atrium vocati celerrime concurrerunt.
Eucleides in lecto positus est et vulnera eius
lauta atque ligata sunt. Diu iacebat
immobilis.
FABULA
Tandem animum recuperavit et lente oculos
aperuit. Postquam aliquid vini bibit, rem
totam explicavit.
“Hodie mane, dum in urbe descendo,
poetae cuidam occurri cui nomen est
Marcus Valerius Martialis. Breviore itinere
me duxit ad eam insulam in qua habitat
frater meus.
FABULA
Plurima de praedonibus huius urbis mihi
narravit. Ego tamen vix ei credidi. Sed, ubi
insulae iam appropinquabamus, homines
quosdam in popinam intrantes
conspeximus.
“’Cave illos!’ inquit Martialis. ‘Illi sunt
praedones scelestissimi. Nocte solus per has
vias ambulare non debes.”
FABULA
CRIME (lines 15-24)
“Totum diem apud fratrem meum
mansi. Post cenam optimam domum redire
constitui. Quamquam nox erat, nihil periculi
timebam. Securus igitur per Suburam
ambulabam cum subito e popina quadam se
praecipitaverunt duo homines qui fustes
ferebant.
FABULA
Timore affectus, celerius ambulabam. Facile
tamen me consecuti sunt. Ab altero
percussus sum, sed baculo me fortissime
defendi. Tum a tergo ab altero correptus ad
terram cecidi. Mihi est ademptum baculum,
adempta pecunia. Abierunt illi ridentes. Diu
pronus in luto iacebam. Tandem surrexi et
summa difficultate domum redii.”
FABULA
Cornelius, “Doleo quod vulnera gravia
accepisti. Stultissimus tamen fuisti.”
Cui Eucleides, “Ita vero, domine! Sed
iam prudentior sum. Non iterum nocte solus
per vias urbis ambulabo.
