T - Pliny pg. 16 (hoc certamine...audire narrare)

‘hoc certamine puer quidam audientor ceteris in ulteriora tendebat.’

in this competition, a certain boy more daring than the rest was making his way intot the further parts ( of the sea).

‘delphinus occurrit, et nunc praecedere puerum nunc sequi nunc circumire’

A dolphin met him and now went in front of the boy, now followed him, now circled him (and)

‘postremo subire deponere iterum subire’

finally went under him, put him down, and then went under him again

‘trepidantemque perferre primum in altum, mox flectit ad litus, redditque terrae et aqualibus’

and carried the frightened boy first out toward the deep water, soon turned towards the shore and returned him to land and his peers.

serpit per coloniam fama; concurerre omnes

the story spread throughout the colony; everyone ran together

‘ipsum puerum tamquam miraculum aspicere,’

regarded the boy himself as a prodigy

‘interrogare audire narrare.’

questioned him, listened to him and spread the story (to others).
