Quintus Italiam visitat et amicum videt

Quintus post multos annos Italiam visitare voluit. Itaque in nave sedebat, quae ad Italiam navigabat. Nunc loco[1] appropinquabat, ubi urbs Pompeii fuerat.[2] per[3] quinque[4] annos Pompeios non conspexerat. Mons Vesuvius prope aquam erat. Quintus nullam urbem et nullos cives videre poterat. Deinde, ubi de[5] patre matreque cogitabat[6], lacrimabat.

Subito, navis ad portum Neapolis[7] pervenit. Quintus portum circumspectavit. Senem conspexit, qui in via dormiebat.

Quintus senem intente spectavit. Tum e nave ad senem cucurrit.

“Grumio!” clamavit. “quam laetus sum quod te video!”

“Quinte! Num vivis[8]? Euge! Nemo[9] est laetior quam ego!” Grumio dixit et Quinto complexum[10] dedit.
