Grātiās tibi agō, Claudī.
Tōtam per Ītaliam aestuōsa est hodiē, ut semper hīs temporibus annī. Praesāgia
tempestātis crāstinae autem sunt bona. Ventōsum est autem in Graeciā,
praesertim hīc in Macedoniā. Alexander Magnus et prīmus Ptolemaeus in Macedoniā
nātī sunt. Et ventōsum est apud Actium, ubi Caesar Octāviānus nāvālī proeliō
superāvit Cleopatram Antōniumque. In Aegyptō, rēgnō Cleopatrae terrāque pȳramidum āridum est. Ecce Nīlus, fluēns in
Mare Nostrum! Ecce Alexandrīa, ubi est bibliothēca clārissima et Pharōs
nōtissimus. In Aegyptō autem sunt praesāgia tempestātis futūrae mala.
