CAESAR Translate one of the following passages and answer the questions on the same. I Diviciacus, multis cum lacrimis Caesarem complexus, obsecrare coepit ne quid gravius in fratrem statueret: scire se illa esse vera, nec quemquam ex eo plus quam se doloris capere, propterea quod, cum ipse gratia plurimum domi atque in reliqua Gallia, ille minimum propter adulescentiam posset, per se crevisset; quibus opibus non solum ad minuendam gratiam, sed paene ad perniciem suam uteretur. Sese tamen et amore fraterno et existimatione vulgi commoveri. Quod si quid ei a Caesare gravius accidisset, neminem existimaturum non sua voluntate factum.-I, 20.

Quae ubi convenit ac primum ab hostibus visa est, circiter ccxx naves eorum paratissimae atque omni genere armorum ornatissimae profectae ex portu nostris adversae constiterunt; neque satis Bruto, qui classi praeerat, vel tribunis militum centurionibusque, quibus singulae naves erant attributae, constabat quid agerent aut quam rationem pugnae insisterent. Rostro enim noceri non posse cognoverant.—III, 14. Give the active and passive participles of captis. Give the active and passive infinitives of reprimi.

Translate one of the following passages and answer the questions on the same. 3 Datis etsi non aequum locum videbat suis, tamen fretus numero copiarum suarum confligere cupiebat, eoque magis, quod, priusquam Lacedaemonii subsidio venirent, dimicare utile arbitrabatur. Itaque in aciem peditum centum, equitum decem milia produxit proeliumque commisit. In quo tanto plus virtute valuerunt Athenienses ut decemplicem numerum hostium profligarint, adeoque eos perterruerunt ut Persae non castra, sed naves petierint. Qua pugna nihil adhuc exstitit nobilius; nulla enim umquam tam exigua manus tantas opes prostravit.-Miltiades, 5. What battle is here described? Where and when was it fought? Why was it so important? Explain the construction of numero, subsidio, tanto. Compare magis, plus. Account for the mood of venirent.

Nam cum apud Aegos flumen Philocles, praetor Atheniensium, classem constituisset suam neque longe abesset Lysander, praetor Lacedaemoniorum, qui in eo erat occupatus ut bellum quam diutissime duceret, quod ipsis pecunia a rege suppeditabatur, contra Atheniensibus exhaustis praeter arma et naves nihil erat super, Alcibiades ad exercitum venit Atheniensium ibique praesente vulgo agere coepit: si vellent, se coacturum Lysandrum dimicare aut pacem petere.-Alcibiades, 8.
