3.

come with me ; for otherwise I shall not go myself

4.

we saw the house indeed, but we did not go in

5.

if men lived justly with one onother,

they would no doubt have peace

6.

since the king is so good, why do you not love him more ?

7.

we all rejoiced greatly when we learned that you were going to come

8.

having remained here through the whole night,

with the day approaching, they quickly fled

51.

1.

many physicians are laboring

that you may be released from this great pain

2.

we were seen and pursued, but we eluded them

3.

time is for mortals a physician of all evils and pains

4.

hide yourselves quickly,

lest you be known being present

5.

surely father rejoiced very much having received his son back from war

6.

I fear that under more rain those stones may be loosed and fall

7.

if you had remained in house,

as I commanded you, you would not have been seen

8.

I tried to escape king’s notice, but I was most quickly known

9.

3.

they said that a certain light had appeared afar in the sea

4.

I suppose it would be better for us not to suffer evils;

but now let us enture patiently as men

5.

rejoice, because we are now closer to our home and friends.

6.

they ascended to the topmost rock, that they might be seen by all

7.

the sheep long to be released, but the shepherd willnot allow them

8.

my brother is wiser than you, but he does not know everything

10.

if you should be seen doing these things,

others also no doubt would think them to be noble and would themselves do them
