Dominus me amat. Dominus me amat quod* vitam fili servabam. Sum Xeno; Romae (in Rome) sum Sextus*. Mox liber (free) ero.

I am a Roman slave because the Romans have occupied my country. I did not fight in the battles with the Romans. My native country was Greece, and now my family lives in Greece. Soon my family will sail for Italy.

Now I live in a town in Italy. I work in the house of master. Many slaves work in the fields, and horses carry the grain to the house. One slave is from Spain and is a teacher. The Spanish slave is Luis. Luis is the teacher of the boys in the house of the master. He will soon be a free man and will not be a slave anymore.

The lord and I are friends. The master is grateful to me because I had at one time saved his son's life in front of the temple. In Greece my name was Xeno: my Roman name is a common Roman boy’s name. Soon I hope to be free and to be a Roman man.

Please re-think the underlined sections below:

I am a <u>Roman</u> slave because the Romans <u>have occupied</u> my country. I did not fight in the battles with the Romans. My native country was Greece, and now my family lives in Greece. Soon my family will sail for Italy.

<u>Now I live in a town in Italy. I work in the house of master.</u> Many slaves work in the fields, and horses carry the grain to the house. <u>One slave is from Spain and is a teacher. The Spanish slave is Luis. Luis is the teacher of the boys in the house of the master. He will soon be a free man and will not be a slave anymore.</u> [Are you expected to have more in the English than is in the Latin?]

<u>The lord and I are friends.</u> The master <u>is grateful to me</u> because I <u>had at one time</u> saved his son's life <u>in front of the temple</u>. In Greece my name was Xeno: <u>my Roman name is a common Roman boy’s name</u>. Soon I <u>hope to be free and to be a Roman man. </u>

What does sum mean, it’s constantly popping up in sentences I’m supposed to translate but it’s not in any vocabulary and the only translation I can find is be in the dictionary.
Answered by Sarah
sum= I am

The translation I need looked over is "Dominus me amat. Dominus me amat quod* vitam fili servabam. Sum Xeno; Romae (in Rome) sum Sextus*. Mox liber (free) ero."

This is the answer I got- The master loves me. The master loves me becaue I saved the life of the son (or I saved the son's life?) I am Xeno; in Rome I am Sextus. Soon I will be free.
