The innkeeper immediately ordered the slaves to prepare dinner for cornelius and marcus and sextus. Her himself led aurelia and crnelia to (their) bedroom. Aurelia,when she saw one of the two beds groaned. "This bed is dirty," she said. "neither I nor my Cornelia is able to sleep in a dirty bed. It's necessary to move another bed in the room." The innkeeper replied, "Why are you blaming me? many travelers are in habit of comming to my inn. no one criticizes(blames) my inn." Now Eucleides arrived. when aurelia explained the situation, Eucledies also scolded the innkeeper. The innkeeper muttered, "You can't find a better inn hear the Appain Way. In my inn no beds are dirty." But he ordered the slaves to seek another bed. In a short time the slaves carried another bed into the bedroom. The innkeeper now shouted with a laugh, "Look,mistress! My slaves have prepared another bed for you. You want to eat dinner now, don't you?" "I am no longer hungry," said Cornelia. "I just want to go to bed." " I also am very tired,"said Aurelia. Cornelia did not eat dinner, but they went to bed immediatly. Aurelia was soon sleeping but Cornelia was staying awake.
