 2.2a

tua persōna in ātriō Sextī sedet. adhūc sēmisomnus es. caput dolet.

 

"ubi fuī?" rogās.

 

"erat Tītānomachia," respondet Sextus. "erat proelium in quō Iuppiter Sāturnum superat. Iuppiter tunc erat rēx deōrum. in Fābulā tuā, Iuppiter saxum cēpit, saxum quod Sāturnus cōnsūmpsit."

 

Sextus tacet. Sextus cōgitat.

 

"sed in Fābulā tuā, Iuppiter Lapidem Neptūnō dedit. est sīgnum. ubi Neptūnus Lapidem posuit? nesciō."

 

subitō Sextus surgit. "sed nunc! labor māgnus tē exspectat! Marcus Maecēnās volūmen habet. volūmen est in vīllā Marcī. egō volūmen dēsīderō. cūr volūmen dēsīderō? volūmen fortasse mōnstrat viam ad Lapidem."

 

Sextus tē spectat. Sextus aliquid exspectat.

 

"deinde?" rogat Sextus. "quaestiōnēs-ne habēs?"
