Hic Fuimus cari nos sine fine sodales nomina si.

Here we are two dear men, comrades without a limit (unconditional?), if you [quaeris] wish our names (this is the mostly lost bit),they were Caius and Aulus.

I thought you would like it.

Here we were, sorry.

Ah! I thought that might be 'sodales'. And the representation of 'e' seems to have been what was messing me up. Thanks for the real transcription - I do like the passage. Yay for friends :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who turned all the e's into double i's. :) Ori, I think the answer is: very hard!

Yeah, but in groups of five for a brief activity, where the goal is not success but teaching them to see What It's Like, I think it'll still work?

Then I give them the nice Times New Roman with spaces.

If I were a student, I'd like it.
