10 Total marks 0 Read the following passage carefully, including the English sections, and then translate all the Latin sections into English. Guilty or Not Guilty? A woman was brought before the Roman governor Dolabella. She was accused of a terrible crime and made no attempt to deny it. 5 mulier quaedam Smyrnaea erat. ad Dolabellam, Asiae proconsulem, deducta est. nam illa virum et filium, veneno clam dato, interfecerat. atque mulier se id fecisse confitebatur, sed dicebat se excusationem habuisse, quoniam maritus et filius alterum filium mulieris occidissent, ex viro priore genitum, adulescentem optimum et innocentissimum. The governor and his council could not decide on a verdict. Dolabella hanc rem ad consilium retulit. nemo tamen ex consilio sententiam ferre in causa tam ancipiti audebat, quod veneficium non videbatur admittendum esse inpunitum, at in homines tam sceleratos vindicatum fuisset. When the case was referred to a city famous for its wisdom in legal matters, the judges came to an unusual decision. Dolabella itaque rem Athenas, ad iudices graviores et exercitatiores, reiecit. iudices, 10 cognita causa, mulierem quae accusabatur post centum annos adesse iusserunt. sic neque absolutum mulieris veneficium est, quod per leges non licuit, neque nocens damnata punitaque est quod digna venia erat. in homines (line 8) against men page 0
