Chapter 8
GETTING UP EARLY
Nōndum lūcet, sed Aurēlia, māter Marcī et Cornēliae, iam in vīllā occupāta est.
Irāta est quod servōs sedentēs cōnspicit.
“Agite, molestī servī!” inquit. “Cūr nihil facitis? Cur vōs ibi sedētis? Cur nōn
strēnuē labōrātis? Omnia statim parāre necesse est quod nōs hodiē Rōmam
redīmus.” Iam strēnuē labōrant servī.
5
Tum Aurēlia puerōs excitāre parat. Intrat igitur cubiculum Marcī. Clāmat, “Age,
Marce! Tempus est surgere. Nōs ad urbem redīre parāmus.”
Marcus mātrem audit sed nihil respondet. Deinde Aurēlia cubiculum Sextī intrat.
Clāmat, “Age, Sexte. Tempus est surgere.” Statim surgit Sextus. Celeriter tunicam
et togam induit et brevī tempore ē cubiculō currit.
10
Iterum Aurēlia cubiculum Marcī intrat. Iterum clāmat, “Age, Marce! Nōs iam
strēnuē labōrāmus. Cūr tū sōlus nōn surgis?”
Gemit Marcus. “Ego nōn surgō,” inquit, “quod Rōmam redīre nōlō. Cur mihi
quoque necesse est ad urbem redīre? Patrem meum prīnceps ad urbem revocat.
Patrem cōnsulere vult. Nōn vult cōnsulere Marcum.”
Subitō intrat Gaius, pater Marcī, et clāmat, “Sed ego volō cōnsulere Marcum!
Cūr, Marce, hodiē mē vexās? Cūr nōn surgis? Cūr nōndum tunicam et togam
induis, moleste puer?”
Nihil repondet Marcus, sed statim surgit quod patrem timet.

Latin uses personal endings on its verbs instead
of separate pronoun subjects as English does.
The Latin personal endings correspond to the
same pronoun subjects that English uses.
A Latin verb has its subject built in to the verb. It
is not necessary to have a subject noun or
pronoun for a Latin sentence.
nos consulimus = we consult
But most importantly….READ A LATIN VERB
BACKWARDS!
Can you find the new personal
endings in the Chapter Story?

Sextus Writes a Letter
Your son Sextus sends greetings.
I am happy, my father! Tomorrow Marcus and Cornelia and I are returning to the city
because the emperor says, “It’s time to return to the city, Cornelius.” Today the slave women are
preparing my tunics and toga and cleaning my room. When Aurelia wakes me tomorrow, it is
necessary for me to put on my tunic and toga and leave immediately.
Today however I want to help Davus because Davus likes me. Often Davus shouts, “Where
are you running to, boys? Where are you, boys? Where are you, Sextus? Where is the statue,
Marcus? Come on! It is time to play in the fields.” Then we answer, “We are in the garden,
Davus. The statue is in the fishpond!”
We and the girls often wander in the woods. The girls are frightened and don’t want to
climb the trees, but nothing scares me. Often Marcus and I shout, “You are afraid of wolves,
cowardly girls! Go away, Cornelia! Go away Flavia! We boys are playing here!”
What are you doing in Asia, my father. Do you miss your Sextus? Although I want to see
the city, I miss you. Goodbye.
