Question 2. Unseen Translation. Piratae navigabant prope oram maritimam insulae. Incolae insulae timebant piratas, quod aestate piratae vastabant terras agricolarum. Interdum incendebant villas. Incolae ambulabant in silvas densas, sed piratae semper inveniebant incolas. Ut fabula est, agricolae saepe rogant auxilium deae Minervae, quod dea erat benigna incolis. Nunc non jam desiderant dare pecuniam piratis. Itaque agricolae orant deae, O magna Minerva, habitabamus in villis nostris, sed hodie habemus nullas villas. Laboramus diligenter in terris, sed piratae vastant (20 marks) nostras terras. Postulant pecuniam, sed non habemus magnam copiam pecuniae. Nostrae feminae et filiae sunt territae.

Pirates used to sail near the seacoast of an island. The residents of the island were afraid of the pirates, because in summer the pirates used to lay waste to the lands of the farmers. Sometimes they used to set their houses on fire. The residents used to walk into the thick forests, but the pirates always used to find the residents. As the story goes, the farmers often ask for the help of the goddess Minerva, because the goddess was kind to the residents. Now they no longer want to give money to the pirates. Therefore the farmers beg the goddess, O great Minerva, we live in our houses, but today we have no houses. We work hard on our lands, but the pirates destroy our lands. They demand money, but we do not have a large supply of money. Our women and daughters are frightened. Afterwards far off from the shore they see boats through their windows. The boats were far away, but full of pirates. The residents watch the boats. The pirates see the residents. Then the boats sail to the island. They are trying to kill us, don t they?, cry the farmers. They want our money and our jewels as well. Suddenly however the waters near the shore are/become dangerous. High waves hide the boats; the pirates quickly sail away from the island. The farmers praise the goddess. The good goddess has saved us, they say.
