He replies from the bier and with a deep groan addresses the people thus: ‘murdered by the evil arts of my new bride and a victim of her poisoned cup, I yielded my warm bed to her adulterer.

Question 1

haec vox de corpore audita est, sed propheta aliquanto commotior ‘quin narras’ inquit ‘populo omnia de morte tua?’

Answer 1

The voice was heard from the body, but the prophet, somewhat more forcefully, said ‘Why don’t you tell the people everything about your death?’

Question 2

dabo vobis documenta veritatis perlucida, et quod prorsus alius nemo cognoverit vel ominaverit indicabo.’

Answer 2

I will give you clear proof of the truth and I will show you what no one else could find out or predict.’
