Hermogenēs

Caecilius est in forō. Caecilius in forō argentāriam habet.
Hermogenēs ad forum venit. Hermogenēs est mercātor Graecus.
mercātor nāvem habet. mercātor Caecilium salūtat.
    'ego sum mercātor Graecus', inquit Hermogenēs. 'ego sum
5  mercātor probus. ego pecūniam quaerō.'
    'cūr tū pecūniam quaeris?' inquit Caecilius. 'tū nāvem habēs.'
    'sed nāvis nōn adest', respondet Hermogenēs. 'nāvis est in
Graeciā. ego pecūniam nōn habeō. ego tamen sum probus. ego
semper pecūniam reddō.'
10      'ecce!' inquit Caecilius. 'ego cēram habeō. tū ānulum habēs?'
    'ego ānulum habeō', respondet Hermogenēs. 'ānulus signum
habet. ecce! ego signum in cērā imprimō.'
    Caecilius pecūniam trādit. mercātor pecūniam capit et ē forō
currit.
15      ēheu! Hermogenēs nōn revenit. mercātor pecūniam nōn
reddit. Caecilius Hermogenem ad basilicam vocat.
