Tandem venerunt amici! Heus, amici, huc venite!" ‘Hurray! At last my friends have come! Hey, friends, come here!’ 2 of 15 Britanni, cum Modesti vocem audivissent, errant tam attoniti ut immoti starent When the Britons had heard the voice of Modestus, they were so astonished that they stood motionless. 3 of 15 Respondere non audebat. Vercobrix tamen, qui racem Modesti vocem agnoverat, ad comites versus, They were not daring to reply. However Vercobrix, who had recognised the harsh voice of Modestus, having turned to his companions, said whispering: 4 of 15 “volite timere” inquit susurrans. “Notus est mihi hic miles Don’t be afraid. This soldier is well known to me. 5 of 15 Stultior est quam asinus. Nobis nocere non potest.” He is more stupid than a donkey. He cannot harm us.’ 6 of 15 Tum britanni per auditum taciti repserunt. Then the Britons crawled through the opening in silence. 7 of 15 Siulatque intraverunt, Modestus eis obviam iit, ut salutarent. As soon as they entered, Modestus went to meet them in order to greet them. 8 of 15 “Salvete, amici! Nunc nobis cenandum ac bibendum est” ‘Hello, friends! Now we must eat dinner and drink.’ 9 of 15 Tum Britannus quidam, vir ingens, in Modestum incurrit. Then a certain Briton, a huge man, bumped into Modestus. 10 of 15 “o Nigrina, deliciae meae!

How long your hair is! Come! Sit near me! Give me a kiss! Who has the lamp?’ 12 of 15 Vercobrix, cum lucernam rogantem audivisset, Britannis imperavit ut faces incenderent. When Vercobrix had heard Modestus asking for a lamp, he ordered the Britons to light their torches. 13 of 15 Modestus, Vercobrigem Britannosque conspicatus, palluit. Modestus, having caught sight of Vercobrix and the Britons, grew pale. 14 of 15 “Di immortales” inquit “abiit Nigrina, apparuent Britanni! Mihi statim effugiendum est” Immortal gods!’ he said. ‘Nigrina has gone away, the Britons have appeared! I must escape at once.’ 15 of 15
