section 78

Question 1

C. Caesari ex Hispania redeunti obviam longissime processisti.

Answer 1

Whilst Caesar was returning from Spain, you went a very long way to meet him.

Question 2

Celeriter isti, redisti, ut cognosceret te si minus fortem, at tamen strenuum.

Answer 2

You went quickly, and you returned quickly so that he recognises you as, if not brave, very energetic.

Question 3

Factus es ei rursus nescio quo modo familiaris.

Answer 3

You became his friend again, somehow or other.

Question 4

Habebat hoc omnino Caesar: quem plane perditum aere alieno egentemque, si eundem nequam hominem audacemque cognorat, hunc in familiaritatem libentissime recipiebat.

Answer 4

Caesar generally had this habit: if the person coming to him is plainly ruined by debt and penurious, if he knew them as morally worthless and reckless, he would receive that man very freely into his close friendship.
