Clodius ministrum ita rogavit: "hac nocte femina cum ancilla sua hic fuit. Vinum illi super tunicam effusum est, tum pugio illi ablatus est. Vidistine adulescentem qui haec fecit?"
Minister adnuit.
"hunc adulescentem, nostin'?"
Minister adnuit sed nihil respondit. Clodius eum intuitus est. Tum sacculum prompsit ex quo aperto nummum prompsit. Nummum ministro dedit. Minister subrisit et nummo sumpto abiit. Codius iratus ministro clamavit: "Accede huc, sceleste! Hoc quod te rogo mihi responde!"
Clodius asked the servant thus: "This night the woman was here with her slavegirl. Wine was spilt over her tunic, then a dagger was stolen from her. Did you see the young man who did these (things)?"
The servant nodded.
"Do you know this young man?"
The servant nodded but replied nothing. Clodius looked at him. Then he took out a small sack, opened it, and took out a coin. He gave the coin to the servant. The servant smiled, took the coin and went away. Angry Clodius shouted to the servant: "walk up here, crook! Answer me this which I ask you!”
Please review and point out my errors.
