The three versions of theLatin are followed by the translation which results fromcombining the word order with the meanings given.How to use this bookletThere are many ways to translate the literature set for theexamination. The word order, meanings and translationsprovided in this booklet are just some examples. You mayalready have studied the literature in class or at home andcreated different, perhaps better, translations than thoseprovided here.

The translationsprovided here are neither definitive nor official versions.The authors and publishers of this booklet have no formalconnection with the examining team and the translationsincluded should not be regarded as any better thantranslations you may have created.Although we have included a word order above theLatin to help you translate the Latin into English, alwaysremember that Roman authors took great care to placetheir words in the order they did. The original order ofthe words contributes greatly to the meaning containedin the literature - meaning is conveyed not only in whatis said, but in how the author says it. Therefore, firstwork out or revise the meaning of the Latin using theword order provided here, studying one sentence at atime and running over the sentence three or four times.Then try to translate the sentence without any support,using a blank copy of the passage. Study about ten totwelve lines at a time in this way. Once you understandhow the Latin can be translated, return to the Latin textand look at the original order of the Latin words carefully tostudy how the meaning is enhanced by the original wordorder.Eduqas Latin GCSE: A Day at the Races5

Tacitus, Germanicus and Piso, A (translation)But Gnaeus Piso, so that he might begin his schemes more quickly, after he reached Syriaand the troops, he won over the basest of soldiers with generosity and bribery. When hehad demoted the old centurions and the strict tribunes and had assigned their positions(lit. the positions of them) to his own supporters, then he allowed laziness in the camps,lawlessness in the cities and soldiers to rampage (lit. soldiers rampaging) through thefields. Nor was Plancina, the wife of Piso, conducting herself as a woman ought (lit. as wassuitable for a woman). But instead she attended the training of the cavalry and used tothrow insults against Aggripina and against Germanicus. This was known to Germanicusbut a more urgent concern for him was to attend to the Armenians.Germanicus averted a crisis in Armenia by supporting the people’s choice of king,and made a peaceful settlement with the Parthians on the Syrian frontier; then, inthe following year, he visited Egypt to travel up the Nile to see the ancient sites.10Eduqas Latin GCSE: A Day at the Races

Tacitus, Germanicus and Piso, B (numbered)On his return to Syria, Germanicus learnt that all his orders to thelegions and cities had been cancelled or reversed. As a result, heseverely reprimanded Piso, who reproached him with equal bitternessand even decided to leave Syria. Soon, however, Germanicus fell ill,so Piso stayed on, waiting to see how the illness progressed.789612455saevam vim morbi augebat persuasio veneni a Pisone3 123456accepti; et reperiebantur solo ac parietibus erutae89710111213humanorum corporum reliquiae, carmina et devotiones et141517181621 nomen Germanici plumbeis tabulis insculptum, cineres20192322semusti ac tabo6 21345obliti aliaque malefica quibus creditur897 123104animas numinibus infernis sacrari. simul missi a Pisone5610987 incusabantur quod valetudinis adversae signa exspectarent.134567892 haec Germanico haud minus ira quam per metum accepta2 124635 sunt. componit epistulam qua amicitiam ei
