Salvēte, sodālēs.
A short reading today, but introducing a good deal of new vocabulary. Our verbum prīmum (this might just mean first word, but prīmum can also mean most important) is another preposition that is followed by the accūsātīvus : circum around.
from Lingua Latīna Per Sē Illustrāta, page 41.
Next we have mūrus and porta, illustrated together in the margin. Porta is also defined in the margin as magnum ōstium. To put all this together: Circum oppidum mūrus longus est. In mūro magna porta est.
from Lingua Latīna Per Sē Illustrāta, page 41.
Finally, we have the number duodecim XII (12). This number is formed from two numbers you have already met, duo II (2) and decem X (10).
Now READ lines Capitulum Sextum 14-17. If you need a refresher on the tam/quam combination, see Lesson 60.
Satis est. See you next lesson, in which we will join Julius on the road back from Tusculum.
