According to the Reading, who was, perhaps, the greatest of all Roman writers of Prose?
PROFUGA PRAEMIUM VULT
Pyrrhus, rēx praeclārus, bellum cum Rōmānīs gerit.
Terram in Ītaliā habēre vult.
Profuga ē castrīs Pyrrhī clam fugit et in castra Rōmānōrum ambulat.
Nōn timet profuga, sed Fābricium vidēre vult.
Fābricius est cōnsul et dux Rōmānōrum.
“Dēbēs māgnum praemium mihi dare,”
inquit profuga;
“sī praemium mihi dās, habeō in animō clam intrāre in Pyrrhī castra et Pyrrhum venēnō necāre.”
Fābricius autem victōriam dolō habēre nōn vult, sed bellō iūstō.
Itaque virōs armātōs vocat.
Praemium nōn dat profugae, sed vincula.
Iubet virōs armātōs cum profugā ad Pyrrhī castra ambulāre et profugam vīnctum Pyrrhō dare.
