Episode 10.1: In Bibliothēcā

 

Recentiī volūmen longum ē prīmō locō sūmpsērunt, et in mēnsā aperuērunt. Tiberius alteram partem tenuit.

 

verba Latīna erant, et ōrdō rērum: rēgēs, bella, cōnsulēs. tum Octāviāna manum eius tenuit.

 

"manē," inquit. "lege hoc."

 

in volūmine erat fēmina nōbilis, et pūgiō, et vir quī pūgiōnem sustulit et magnā vōce clāmāvit. Recentiī haec verba lēgērunt, et frīgidum aliquid sēnsērunt: hoc ipsī vīderant, ante ūnum diem, oculīs suīs.

 

sed verba pauca erant. scrīptor nōmina dedit, et clāmōrem turbae; dē Lūcrētiā ipsā pauca dīxit, dē lapide nihil. quī hoc volūmen lēgerat nihil dē lapide didicerat.

 

"nōn est falsum," inquit Octāviāna lentē. "sed nōn est tōtum."

 

Tiberius volūmen clausit. "Līvius haec scrīpsit," inquit. "omnēs eum legunt. avunculus meus quoque, ut crēdō."

 

Recentiī volūmen in locō suō posuērunt. tempus abierat, et nihil invēnerant.
