(α) Ὡς οὖν διαλύσαντες τὴν ἐκκλησίαν ἦγον εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον τοὺς ἄνδρας, οἱ μὲν ἄλλοι, περιπλεκομένων τῶν φίλων αὐτοῖς καὶ οἰκείων, ὀδυρόμενοι καὶ καταθρηνοῦντες ἐβάδιζον· τὸ δὲ Φωκίωνος πρόσωπον, οἷον ὅτε στρατηγῶν ἀπ ̓ ἐκκλησίας προϋπέμπετο βλέποντες, ἐθαύμαζον τὴν ἀπάθειαν καὶ μεγαλοψυχίαν τοῦ ἀνδρός· οἱ δ' ἐχθροὶ κακῶς ἔλεγον παρατρέχοντες εἷς δὲ καὶ προσέπτυσεν ἐξεναντίας προσελθών. Ὅτε καὶ τὸν Φωκίωνα λέγεται βλέψαντα πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχε οντας εἰπεῖν· οὐ παύσει τις ἀσχημονοῦντα τοῦτον ; Ἐπεὶ δὲ Θούδιππος ἐν τῷ δεσμωτηρίῳ γενόμενος, καὶ τὸ κώνειον ὁρῶν τριβόμενον, ἠγανάκτει, καὶ κατέκλαιε τὴν συμφορὰν, ὡς οὐ προσηκόντως τῷ Φωκίωνι συναπολλύμενος, εἶτ ̓ οὐκ ἀγαπᾷς, εἶπεν, ὅτι μετὰ Φωκίω νος ἀποθνήσκεις ;

(3) Ω πάντα νωμῶν, Τειρεσία, διδάκτά τε,

Αῤῥητά τ', οὐράνιά τε, καὶ χθονοστιβῆ,
Πόλιν μὲν, εἰ καὶ μὴ βλέπεις, φρονεῖς δ ̓ ὅμως
Οἵα νόσῳ ξύνεστιν· ἧς σε προστάτην
Σωτῆρά τ ̓, ὦ "ναξ, μοῦνον ἐξευρίσκομεν.
Φοῖβος γὰρ, εἰ καὶ μὴ ἔκλυες τῶνδ' ἀγγέλων,
Πέμψασιν ἡμῖν ἀντέπεμψεν, ἔκλυσιν

Μόνην ἂν ἐλθεῖν τοῦδε τοῦ νοσήματος,
Εἰ τοὺς κτανόντας Λάϊον, μαθόντες εὖ,
Κτείναιμεν, ἢ γῆς φυγάδας ἐκπεμψαίμεθα.

2. Translate into Greek

He entrusted the treasure to a messenger who was not in the secret, and told him that the bag contained a sum of money in silver, which he was to deliver to the Duke's servant with a letter; but the man, conjecturing from the weight and size of the bag that it was full of gold, carried the letter to the Governor, who immediately ordered the three conspirators to be put under arrest, and to undergo a severe examination. Torture made them confess the whole truth, and, as the Duke's servant, although ordered to burn all papers, had carefully kept them concealed under the mats of his chamber and the tiles of his house, full evidence was forthcoming against his master.

3. Render as nearly as you can in the Greek of Euripides

Art thou not made out base by these designs,
Who, having been treated by me as thou sayest,
Doest us no good, but all the ill thou canst?
A thankless brood is yours, all ye who covet
The speaker's honours; ne'er be known to me
Ye who have no concern to hurt your friends,
If ye may speak some word to please the crowd.
