Duo ē discipulīs, virī nōbilēs magnā vī, ducēs factī sunt. Necesse erat ducēs huius generis habēre. Trāns flūmen ē castellō tabernācula barbarōrum facile vidēbantur. (Ibi erant nūllī barbarī, sed cēterī discipulī.) Herī agricolae pontem frēgērunt. Ita enim barbarōs flūmen trānsīre nōn posse putābant. Sed barbarī nāviculās habēbant. Agricolae castellum relinquere nōlēbant neque audēbant nam barbarī ad impetum faciendum parātī erant.
