1.1 Accipe receive nunc now Mārce Marcus Vīnicī Vinicius nōn not bellum a war neque nor triumphum a triumph sed but rem a matter parvam small quam which in in historiā history meā my ūnā with one clausulā clause tantum only perstrīnxī I touched upon
1.2 Scrīpsī I wrote enim for cum when dē about cūrā the care Caesaris of Caesar loquerer I was speaking lectīcam the litter eius his pūblicātam esse to have been made common property cuius whose ūsum use cum not only aliī others tum but also ego I sēnsissem had experienced
1.3 Haec these verba words plērīque most people legentēs reading ut as opīnor I think celeriter quickly praetereunt pass by nēmō no one quaerit asks quis who aegrōtāverit was sick quandō when ubi where aut or quid what in in illā that lectīcā litter vīderit he saw
1.4 Ego I aegrōtāvī was sick ego I in in eā it iacuī lay ego I quod which hodiē today fatērī to confess nōn not pudet it shames me prīmō at first eam it recūsāvī refused
1.5 Scrīptōrēs writers Graecī Greek trādunt hand down magnōs great ducēs generals ex from magnīs great rēbus gestīs deeds cognōscī to be known ego I mīles a soldier aliter otherwise sentiō think et and ducem a general ex from parvīs small things potius rather cognōscī to be known crēdō believe
1.6 Nam for proelium a battle ā by multīs many vidētur is seen et and quisque each one id that narrat tells quod which ipse himself spectāvit watched cēnam the dinner autem but ducis of the general et and manum the hand quā with which pōculum a cup tenet he holds et and quōs whom ad to mēnsam table vocet he calls paucī few animadvertunt notice
1.7 Haec these parva small things ego I per through annōs years continuōs continuous novem nine praefectus prefect aut or lēgātus legate in in Germāniā Germany et and Pannoniā Pannonia animadvertī noticed et and ex from eīs them Tiberium Tiberius Caesarem Caesar cognōvisse to have come to know mē me arbitror I judge
1.8 Sed but quam how fallāx deceptive sit is haec this ipsa very ratiō method quae which mē me in in Tiberiō Tiberius nōn not fefellit deceived in at fīne the end fābulae of the story fatēbor I shall confess
1.9 In in illō that librō book ūna one clausula clause lectīcae for the litter sufficere to suffice dēbuit had to hīc here tōta a whole fābula story eī to it dabitur will be given
1.10 Nunc now audī listen Vīnicī Vinicius et and sī if longior longer fuerō I shall have been quam than soleō I am accustomed ignōsce pardon mīlitī a soldier quī who in in librō book suō his properāre to hurry coāctus est was compelled hīc here nōn not cōgitur is compelled
2.1 Alter the second annus year erat was bellī of the war Pannonicī Pannonian et and ego I quī who in in quaestūrā quaestorship meā my sorte the lot prōvinciae of a province remissā having been waived lēgātus as legate ad to Caesarem Caesar missus eram had been sent cum with exercitū the army autumnum the autumn agēbam was spending in in regiōne a region palūdibus by marshes et and silvīs by forests impedītā obstructed
2.2 Imbrēs the rains per through tōtum whole mēnsem the month nōn not cessāverant had ceased flūmina the rivers rīpīs over the banks effūsa erant had poured out castra the camp in in lutō mud posita erant had been placed et and ex from lutō mud ut as mīlitēs the soldiers dīcēbant were saying febris fever oriēbātur was arising
2.3 Crēdēbant they believed enim for febrem fever ē from terrā earth ūmidā damp noctū by night surgere to rise et and dormientēs those sleeping in in tentōriīs tents invādere to attack quasi as if hostis an enemy esset it were quī who vigilēs the sentries fallere to deceive scīret knew how
2.4 Prīmum first centuriōnēs centurions aliquot several deinde then tribūnī tribunes duo two postrēmō finally ego I ipse myself febre by fever correptus sum was seized
2.5 Erat there was in in legiōne legion quādam a certain centuriō a centurion prīmī of the first ōrdinis rank Ancharius Ancharius nōmine by name vir a man quī who trīgintā thirty stīpendia campaigns meruerat had served et and numquam never sē himself aegrum sick esse to be fassus erat had admitted
2.6 Is he febrem fever per for quattuor four diēs days cēlāverat had concealed et and quīntō on the fifth diē day ante before signa the standards collāpsus having collapsed nōn not iam any longer surrēxit rose
2.7 Vīdī I saw eum him efferrī be carried out et and ipse myself iam already febre with fever tremēns trembling nihil nothing ex from eō it didicī learned
2.8 Nam for initiō at first nihil nothing cuiquam to anyone dīxī I said
2.9 Putābam I thought lēgātum a legate quī who aliōs others regere to rule dēbēret ought aegrum sick vidērī to seem nōn not oportēre to be proper et and turpe shameful esse to be eum him quī who equō by horse vehī to be carried solēret was accustomed in in lectō a bed iacēre to lie
2.10 Itaque and so per for trēs three diēs days equum horse cōnscendēbam I was mounting tremēns trembling quidem indeed sed but manibus hands in on habēnīs the reins ita so compositīs arranged ut that nēmō no one tremōrem the trembling vidēret might see
2.11 Frāter brother meus my Magius Magius Celer Celer quī who in in eōdem the same exercitū army merēbat was serving sōlus alone rem the matter intellēxit understood et and mē me monuit warned nē that not salūtem health pudōrī to shame posthabērem I should put second
2.12 Respondī I replied mē me nōn not aegrōtāre to be sick sed but frīgore by cold paulum a little afficī to be affected quod which frātrēs brothers frātribus to brothers dīcere to say solent are accustomed cum when vēritātem the truth audīre to hear nōlunt they do not wish
2.13 Ille he tacuit was silent ego I quoque also tacuī was silent et and nēminem no one praeter besides nōs us rem the matter scīre to know putābam I was thinking
3.1 Caesar Caesar quod which in in historiā history meā my scrīpsī I wrote per through maiōrem the greater partem part aestīvārum of the summer expedītiōnum campaigns cum with eīs those quōs whom invītāverat he had invited sedēns sitting cēnābat used to dine nōn not accubāns reclining et and mōrem custom eundem the same etiam also autumnō in autumn servābat he kept
3.2 Sōlus alone semper always equō by horse vehēbātur he was carried neque nor hoc this superbiā from pride faciēbat did he do sed but ut so that omnēs all vidērent might see eum him nihil nothing sibi to himself permittere to allow quod which mīlitibus to the soldiers negārētur was denied
3.3 Quārtō on the fourth febris fever meae of my diē day ego I quoque also ad to cēnam dinner vocātus sum was called
3.4 Īre to go nōlēbam I did not want quia because manūs my hands tremēbant were trembling nōn not īre to go nōn not audēbam I dared quia because Caesar Caesar absentēs those absent nōtābat used to note
3.5 Īvī I went igitur therefore et and in at extrēmā the end of mēnsā the table cōnsēdī sat down et and pānem bread frangēbam I was breaking ut so that aliquid something agere to do vidērer I might seem nec nor quicquam anything edēbam was I eating
3.6 Caesar Caesar ut as solēbat he was accustomed pauca few things loquēbātur was saying dē about viīs roads dē about pābulō fodder dē about castellīs the forts hostium of the enemy quaerēbat he was asking et and respōnsa the answers sine without ūllā any laude praise audiēbat was hearing
3.7 Nec nor mē me umquam ever aspicere to look at vidēbātur did he seem ego I autem however eum him spectābam was watching ut as lēgātus a legate ducem the general spectāre to watch solet is accustomed et and vultum face eius his quī which nihil nothing prōdēbat betrayed legere to read cōnābar I was trying
3.8 Hoc this ūnum one thing animadvertī I noticed eum him servō to the slave quī who aquam water ministrābat was serving nūtū with a nod significāvisse to have signalled ut that pōculum a cup mihi to me prīmō first daret he should give
3.9 Pōculum the cup accēpī I took et and quamquam although mē me sitīre to be thirsty mihi to myself negābam I was denying tōtum whole ēbibī I drank off
3.10 Nēmō no one aliud other quicquam anything vīdit saw ego I quidem indeed tunc then putābam was thinking eum him hoc this cāsū by chance fēcisse to have done
3.11 Cēnā dinner fīnītā having been finished Caesar Caesar surrēxit rose omnēs all salūtāvit greeted exiit went out nec nor mihi to me verbum word ūllum any dīxit said
3.12 Illā that nocte night male badly dormīvī I slept nec nor tam so much febris fever quam as pudor shame mē me vigilem awake tenēbat was keeping quia because suspicābar I was suspecting mē me quī who aliōs others fallere to deceive voluissem had wished ūnō by one nūtū nod dēprehēnsum esse to have been caught
4.1 Prīmā at first lūce light cum when ē from tentōriō the tent prōdīrem I was coming out ante before ōstium the entrance stābat was standing lectīca a litter et and circā around eam it sex six lectīcāriī litter-bearers Thrācēs Thracians lātīs with broad umerīs shoulders quī who mē me tacitī silent exspectābant were waiting for
4.2 Lectīcam the litter statim at once agnōvī I recognised erat it was enim for Caesaris Caesar's ipsīus own quam which tōtus the whole exercitus army nōverat knew quamquam although nēmō no one Caesarem Caesar in in eā it umquam ever vīderat had seen
4.3 Rogāvī I asked quis who eam it mīsisset had sent
4.4 Maximus the oldest nātū by birth ex of lectīcāriīs the bearers cui to whom nōmen name erat was Bithus Bithus respondit replied sē himself et and sociōs his comrades iussū by order Caesaris of Caesar adesse to be present ut so that lēgātum the legate Velleium Velleius ad to medicum the doctor portārent they might carry
4.5 Ego I quī who adhūc still pudōre with shame magis more quam than febre with fever ārdēbam was burning negāvī denied mē me lectīcā a litter egēre to need et and equum a horse mihi to me addūcī to be led iussī I ordered
4.6 Bithus Bithus nōn not sē himself mōvit moved
4.7 Dīxit he said nōn not superbē proudly sed but lēniter gently ut as quī one who rem the thing saepe often ēgisset had done nēminem no one adhūc yet lectīcam the litter Caesaris of Caesar recūsāvisse to have refused neque nor sē himself putāre to think mē me prīmum the first futūrum esse to be going to be
4.8 Deinde then cum when ego I nihilōminus nevertheless negārem was refusing addidit he added Caesarem Caesar hoc this ipsum very thing praedīxisse to have foretold lēgātum the legate sī if recūsāret he refused dictūrum esse to be going to say sē himself frīgore by cold tantum only afficī to be affected
4.9 Haec these verba words mē me magis more quam than febris fever vīcērunt conquered nam for eadem the same ipsa very erant were quae which frātrī to brother meō my sōlī alone dīxeram I had said
4.10 Frātrem brother igitur therefore mē me prōdidisse to have betrayed crēdidī I believed et and īrātus angry et and victus beaten pāruī I obeyed
4.11 Cōnscendī I climbed into lectīcam the litter vēla the curtains dēmissa sunt were let down et and sex six hominēs men mē me umerīs on shoulders sustulērunt lifted up
4.12 Numquam never anteā before in in lectīcā a litter vectus eram I had been carried nisi except Rōmae at Rome inter among salūtātiōnēs morning calls et and negōtia business ubi where lectīca a litter ad to dignitātem dignity pertinet pertains nōn not ad to salūtem health
4.13 Hīc here autem however in in lutō the mud Pannonicō Pannonian sex six hominēs men per through sulcōs ruts et and fossās ditches pedetemptim step by step prōcēdēbant were advancing et and lectīca the litter nec neither inclīnābātur was tilted nec nor quatiēbātur was shaken tamquam as if in on marī a sea tranquillō calm nāvigārem I were sailing
4.14 Per through rīmam a gap vēlōrum of the curtains mīlitēs soldiers vidēbam I was seeing quī who lectīcam the litter praetereuntem passing aspiciēbant were looking at exspectābam I was expecting rīsum laughter sed but nēmō no one rīdēbat was laughing
4.15 Immō on the contrary veterānus a veteran quīdam certain quī who ad at focum a hearth sedēbat was sitting surrēxit rose et and caput head inclīnāvit bowed nōn not mihi to me quem whom nōn not vidēbat he saw sed but lectīcae to the litter
4.16 Rogāvī I asked Bithum Bithus per through vēla the curtains quotiēns how often Caesar Caesar ipse himself hāc this lectīcā litter ūterētur used
4.17 Numquam never inquit he said Semper always equō by horse vehitur he is carried Nōs we lectīcam the litter per through tōtum whole bellum the war portāmus carry et and dominum master numquam never portāvimus have we carried
4.18 Hoc this mihi to me tunc then mīrum strange vīsum est seemed et and nunc now quoque also vidētur seems lectīcam that the litter ducis of the general per through tot so many annōs years exercitum the army portāvisse to have carried ducem the general numquam never
5.1 Lectīcāriī the bearers mē me nōn not in into tentōrium tent meum my sed but in into valētūdinārium the hospital portāvērunt carried quod which Caesar Caesar prope near praetōrium the headquarters collocārī to be placed iusserat had ordered
5.2 Ibi there medicus a doctor Graecus Greek Philōtās Philotas nōmine by name mē me exspectābat was awaiting homō a man senex old et and brevis of short sermōnis speech quī who manum hand meam my prehendit took frontem forehead tetigit touched linguam tongue īnspexit inspected nec nor quicquam anything dē about pudōre shame meō my rogāvit asked
5.3 Dīxit he said febrem the fever tertiānam tertian esse to be nōn not perniciōsam deadly sed but quae which neglēcta neglected in into perniciōsam deadly vertī to be turned solēret was accustomed mē me trīduō by three days prius sooner venīre to come dēbuisse to have been obliged
5.4 Deinde then servī slaves cibum food attulērunt brought nōn not castrēnsem of the camp sed but eum that quem which medicus the doctor praescrīpserat had prescribed sorbitiōnem a broth ex from hordeō barley ōva eggs vīnum wine multā with much aquā water mixtum mixed
5.5 Postrēmō finally quod which minimē least exspectāveram I had expected īnstrūmentum equipment balineī of a bath in into tentōrium the tent illātum est was brought lābrum a basin aēneum bronze et and vāsa vessels ad for aquam water calefaciendam to be heated quae which ad for hunc this ūnum one ūsum use in into castra the camp portāta erant had been carried
5.6 Cum when mīrārer I was wondering Philōtās Philotas rīsit laughed et and narrāvit told Caesarem Caesar haec these omnia all per through tōtum whole bellum the war sēcum with him trahere to drag et and ūsum the use eōrum of them nōn not sibi for himself servāre to keep sed but aegrīs for the sick
5.7 Ipse he himself inquit he said frīgidā in cold water lavātur washes sī if omnīnō at all lavātur he washes calidam the hot water aegrīs for the sick relinquit he leaves
5.8 Addidit he added Caesarem Caesar cottīdiē every day vesperī in the evening ā from sē himself quaerere to ask quot how many aegrī sick essent were quōmodo how sē habērent they were faring et and num whether quis anyone ex of eīs them aliquid anything dēsīderāret was wanting
5.9 Ego I respondeō reply inquit he said et and ille he numquam never oblīvīscitur forgets Sī if herī yesterday aliquem someone meliōrem better esse to be dīxī I said hodiē today rogat he asks cūr why nōndum not yet convaluerit he has recovered
5.10 Tum then ego I memor mindful Ancharī of Ancharius rogāvī asked num whether Caesar Caesar etiam also dē about illō him quaesīvisset had asked
5.11 Philōtās Philotas diū for a long time tacuit was silent deinde then dīxit said Caesarem Caesar dē about Ancharī of Ancharius febre the fever nihil nothing scīvisse to have known quia because nēmō no one eī to him dīxisset had told et and sē himself numquam never Caesarem Caesar quicquam anything molestius more grievously ferre to bear vīdisse to have seen
5.12 Sīc thus per for quīnque five diēs days iacuī I lay et and cottīdiē daily Philōtās Philotas mē me vīsitābat was visiting et and cottīdiē daily ut as suspicābar I suspected dē about mē me Caesarī to Caesar referēbat was reporting
5.13 Caesar Caesar ipse himself nōn not vēnit came neque nor id that mīrābar did I wonder at
5.14 Dux a general enim for quī who tōtum a whole exercitum army regit rules nōn not potest can singulōs individual aegrōs sick men vīsitāre visit potest he can tamen however efficere bring about ut that singulī each sē themselves neglēctōs neglected nōn not esse to be sentiant feel
6.1 Sextō on the sixth diē day cum when febris the fever remitteret was abating Bithus Bithus et and sociī his comrades mē me rūrsus again in into lectīcam the litter imposuērunt placed ut so that in into tentōrium tent meum my referrer I might be carried back
6.2 In in lectīcā the litter sub under pulvīnō the cushion tabellam a tablet cērātam waxed invēnī I found quae which ibi there relicta left esse to be vidēbātur seemed
6.3 Scrīpta erat it had been written manū in a hand quam which agnōvī I recognised Caesaris Caesar's enim for litterās handwriting in in epistulīs letters ad to lēgātōs legates saepe often vīderam I had seen parvās small et and dēnsās dense quasi as if nihil nothing cērae of the wax perdere to waste vellet he wished
6.4 Nōmina names erant there were ferē about trīgintā thirty centuriōnum of centurions tribūnōrum of tribunes lēgātōrum of legates et and post after nōmen name quodque each verba words pauca few
6.5 Lēgī I read etsī although sciēbam I knew mē me nōn not dēbēre to be obliged sed but lēgātus a legate quī who nōmen name suum his own in on tabellā the tablet ducis of the general videt sees nōn not tam so fortis strong est is ut that nōn not legat he reads
6.6 Post after nōmen the name centuriōnis of a centurion cuiusdam certain scrīptum erat had been written Laudandus to be praised apud among mīlitēs the soldiers nōn not apud before mē me
6.7 Post after nōmen the name tribūnī of a tribune iuvenis young Fortis brave sed but nimis too much nōn not sōlus alone mittendus to be sent
6.8 Post after nōmen the name lēgātī of a legate cuiusdam certain quod which nēminī to no one prōdam I shall betray Cūrat he takes care of ea those things quae which videntur are seen
6.9 Nōmen the name Ancharī of Ancharius indūctum erat had been struck out et and post after id it duo two verba words Nēmō no one dīxit said
6.10 Post after nōmen name meum my haec these things erant were Velleius Velleius Febrem fever cēlat he conceals Nōn not dīcet he will say Mittenda to be sent lectīca the litter
6.11 Diū long illa those verba words spectāvī I looked at et and intellēxī understood Caesarem Caesar mē me nōn not ūnō in one mōmentō moment sed but per through tōtam the whole cēnam dinner spectāvisse to have watched dum while ego I mē myself sōlum alone spectātōrem the watcher esse to be crēdō believe
6.12 Hoc this erat was Tiberiī of Tiberius ingenium character quod which in in historiā history meā my breviter briefly dēscrīpsī I described hīc here plēnius more fully dēscrībam I shall describe pauca few things dīcēbat he said omnia all things nōtābat he noted nēminem no one cōram to his face laudābat he praised nēminem no one neglegēbat he neglected et and cūram care quam which aliī others ostentant display ille he abscondēbat hid quasi as if fūrtō by theft benefaceret he did good
6.13 Tabellam the tablet sub under pulvīnō the cushion reposuī I put back eō in that ipsō very locō place ubi where invēneram I had found it et and Bithō to Bithus nihil nothing dīxī I said
6.14 Nesciō I do not know adhūc still utrum whether tabella the tablet cāsū by chance ibi there relicta sit was left an or cōnsiliō by design ut so that ego I legerem might read neque nor hoc this umquam ever rogāre to ask ausus sum did I dare
7.1 Decimō on the tenth diē day convaluī I recovered et and equum horse rūrsus again cōnscendī I mounted hōc this tempore time nōn not tremēns trembling
7.2 Frātrem brother meum my prīmum first quaesīvī I sought et and eum him accūsāvī I accused quod because mē me prōdidisset he had betrayed
7.3 Ille he rīsit laughed et and iūrāvit swore sē himself nihil nothing Caesarī to Caesar dīxisse to have said Caesarem Caesar ipsum himself cum when sē him in on viā the road cōnspexisset had caught sight of rogāvisse to have asked tantum only num whether frāter brother suus his etiam even hodiē today frīgore by cold afficerētur was affected
7.4 Tum then intellēxī I understood Caesarem Caesar verba words mea my nōn not audīvisse to have heard sed but nōvisse to have known ea those things quae which omnēs all lēgātī legates aegrī sick dīcere to say solent are accustomed tot so many enim for iam already eadem the same things dīxerant had said
7.5 Deinde then ad to praetōrium headquarters iī I went ut so that Caesarī to Caesar grātiās thanks agerem I might give
7.6 Ille he sedēbat was sitting ut as solēbat he used to et and epistulās letters legēbat was reading et and cum when ego I verba words composita composed prōferre to bring forth coepissem had begun manū with his hand significāvit signalled ut that dēsisterem I should stop
7.7 Dīxit he said ut as meminī I remember grātiās thanks sibi to himself nōn not dēbērī to be owed lectīcam the litter enim for nōn not suam his esse to be sed but exercitūs the army's sē himself eam it tantum only cūrāre to look after ut so that quī whoever egēret needed it habēret might have it
7.8 Deinde then addidit he added oculōs eyes ab from epistulīs the letters nōn not tollēns raising lēgātum a legate quī who febrem fever cēlāret concealed nōn not fortem brave esse to be sed but exercituī to the army perīculōsum dangerous nam for sī if lēgātī legates tacērent were silent mīlitēs the soldiers quoque also tacitūrōs esse to be going to be silent et and febrem fever per through tōta the whole castra camp sē itself diffūsūram esse to be going to spread
7.9 Tum then addidit he added nōmen name ūnum one tantum only Ancharius Ancharius
7.10 Hoc this dīxit he said nec nor plūra more et and ego I quī who ad for grātiās thanks agendās to be given vēneram had come castīgātus chastised discessī departed sed but ita so castīgātus chastised ut that nōn not dēspectum despised sed but cūrātum cared for mē me esse to be sentīrem I felt
7.11 Hoc this erat was quod what posteā afterwards in in historiā history meā my scrīpsī I wrote apud with eum him admonitiōnem admonition frequentem frequent fuisse to have been interdum sometimes et also castīgātiōnem chastisement vindictam punishment tamen however rārissimam very rare
8.1 Historiam history meam my Vīnicī Vinicius annō in the year cōnsulātūs of consulship tuī your absolvī I finished et and quae what things dē about Tiberiō Tiberius in in eā it posuī I set down nihil nothing eōrum of them hodiē today retractō I retract
8.2 Ratiō method enim for mea my quā by which ducem a general ex from parvīs small signīs signs cognōscere to know solēbam I used in in Tiberiō Tiberius nōn not fefellit deceived nūtus nod ille that lectīca litter illa that tabella tablet illa that vēra true erant were
8.3 Sed but in in eōdem the same librō book paucīs a few capitibus chapters post after dē about aliō another homine man scrīpsī I wrote quem whom eādem by the same ratiōne method iūdicāveram I had judged
8.4 Seiānum Sejanus dīcō I mean Lūcium Lucius Aelium Aelius quem whom Caesar Caesar singulārem singular prīncipālium of the principal onerum burdens adiūtōrem helper habēbat had
8.5 Eum him ego I dīxī said virum a man esse to be sevēritātis of severity laetissimae most cheerful hilaritātis of gaiety prīscae old-fashioned āctū in manner ōtiōsīs to men at leisure simillimum most like nihil nothing sibi for himself vindicantem claiming eōque and by that adsequentem achieving omnia all things
8.6 Annō in the year proximō next cum when liber book meus my vix scarcely lēctus esset had been read ille he quem whom ita so laudāveram I had praised īnsidiārum of plots contrā against Caesarem Caesar accūsātus accused et and necātus est was killed et and nōmen name eius his ē from titulīs the inscriptions ērāsum est was erased
8.7 Quaerēs you will ask Vīnicī Vinicius quōmodo how īdem the same homō man quī who Tiberium Tiberius tam so bene well lēgisset had read illum that man tam so male badly legere to read potuerit could
8.8 Respondeō I reply eādem by the same ratiōne method
8.9 Nam for signa the signs parva small quibus by which Tiberius Tiberius cūram care suam his abscondēbat hid eadem the same ille that man ad for ambitiōnem ambition suam his abscondendam to be hidden adhibēbat used
8.10 Tiberius Tiberius pauca few things dīcēbat said et and omnia all things nōtābat noted ille that man nihil nothing petēbat sought et and omnia all things adsequēbātur obtained et and ego I quī who tacitum a silent ducem general amāre to love didiceram had learned tacitum a silent quoque also ministrum minister amāvī loved
8.11 Hoc this est is perīculum the danger eius of him quī who ex from parvīs small things iūdicat judges parva small things enim for etiam also fingī to be feigned possunt can et and quī he who magna great things fingere to feign nōn not audet dares parva small things fingit feigns
8.12 Inter between Tiberium Tiberius et and illum that man hoc this ūnum one thing interfuit was the difference quod which nunc now dēmum at last videō I see Tiberius Tiberius lectīcam litter suam his aliīs to others dabat gave ipse himself numquam never ūtēbātur used it ille that man omnia all things aliīs to others dare to give vidēbātur seemed ut so that omnia all things tandem at last sibi for himself sūmeret he might take
8.13 Itaque therefore hoc this tibi to you Vīnicī Vinicius et and omnibus to all quī who haec these things legent will read mīles a soldier relinquō I leave crēde believe signīs signs parvīs small sed but nōn not ūnī one nec nor quid what homō a man dare to give videātur seems spectā watch sed but quid what ipse himself per through multōs many annōs years nōn not sūmat he takes
8.14 Lectīca litter illa that per through tōtum the whole bellum war portāta est was carried et and dominum master numquam never portāvit carried
8.15 Hoc this est is signum a sign quod which nēmō no one per through novem nine annōs years fingit feigns
8.16 Cētera the rest iūdicet let judge historia history hoc this ego I sēnsī experienced
