Modestus perfuga III

Modestus in cellam furēns irrumpit. captīvum, quī intus latet,
verberāre incipit.

captīvus:Modeste! mī Modeste! dēsine mē verberāre! nōnne
mē agnōscis? Strȳthiō sum, quem tū amās sīcut pater
5 fīlium.
Modestus:Strȳthiō? Strȳthiō! num vīvus es? cūr vīvus es?
sceleste! furcifer! ubi sunt captīvī quōs custōdiēbās?
Strȳthiō:fūgērunt, Modeste. mē dēcēpērunt. coēgērunt mē
portās omnium cellārum aperīre.
Modestus:10 ēheu! quid facere dēbēmus?
Strȳthiō:nōbīs statim ē carcere fugiendum est; centuriōnem
appropinquantem audiō.
Modestus:ō Strȳthiō! ō, quam īnfēlīx sum!

amīcī ē carcere quam celerrimē fugiunt.
