10. Alexander et Pirata




Alexánder olim
comprehénsum pirátam interrogávit
quo iure
maria infestáret.
Ille
"Eódem," inquit,
"quo tu
orbem terrárum.
Sed quia id
ego parvo navígio fácio,
latro vocor;
tu,
quia magna classe et exércitu,
imperátor."
Alexánder
hóminem inviolátum dimísit.
Num iuste fecit?
