**Could someone who copied down the notes from today tell the scribe because he couldn't write in his book and wants to make a photocopy**

Aeneas approaches here with seven ships having been collected // omni: weird abl. // from the whole number, and having set out, with a great fondness of the land, // telluris: objective gen. // the Trojans win the chosen sand, // potiuntur Troes: anastrophe // and they placed their limbs dripping with salt (water->metonomy) on the shore. And first Achates struck out a spark from (ex) the flint and caught up a fire with the leaves and he gave dry fuel around (it) and he snatched the flame in the tinder. // circum...dedit->split up compound verb: tmesis // // all those ands: polyptoton // Then they, tired of matters, prepare the grains // cererem, cerealia: polyptoton // // cererem: metonomy // snatched from the waves and the tools of Ceres (g-dess of grain), and they prepare both to roast the recovered grains with flames and break them with a rock. // parallel structure // // polysyndeton finish me! // // synchisis // Meanwhile Aeneas climbs the cliff and // Anthea: Greek acc. // can see any Antheus tossed about by the wind and the Phrygian (Trojan) biremes, // Phrygias: acc. // or Capyus or the arms of Caicus on the high sterns. these guys are comrades of Aeneas // aut capyn, aut arma: synchesis // // also is polysyndeton, anaphora (two clauses started with same thing) // // Capyn: Greek acc. // He sees no ship in sight, he sees three deer // asyndeton: nullam, tres // wandering on the shore; whole herds follow these guys (the big deer) // prospicit: elipsis // // prospicit, conspectu: pleonasm // from behind and a long line grazes through the valley. // agmen: n. sing. nom // He stopped here and **snatched up a bow and swift arrows with his hand ** and first he laid low (killed) the leaders themselves carrying the tall heads with tree-like horns, then he also confuses the whole herd, driving the crowd between the leafy sacred groves with weapons; nor does he stop before he, a victor, humi: locative From here, he heads for the harbor and divides (the deer) among all of the comrades.
 * 170 huc septem Aeneas collectis navibus omni **
 * ex numero subit, ac magno telluris amore  **
 * egressi optata potiuntur Troes harena  **
 * et sale tabentis artus in litore ponunt.  **
 * ac primum silici scintillam excudit Achates **
 * 175 suscepitque ignem foliis atque arida circum **
 * nutrimenta dedit rapuitque in fomite flammam.  **
 * tum Cererem corruptam undis Cerealiaque arma **
 * expediunt fessi rerum, frugesque receptas **
 * et torrere parant flammis et frangere saxo. **
 * 180 Aeneas scopulum interea conscendit, et omnem **
 * prospectum late pelago petit, Anthea si quem **
 * he seeks the whole view widely on the sea, if he **
 * iactatum vento videat Phrygiasque biremes, **
 * aut Capyn aut celsis in puppibus arma Caici.  **
 * navem in conspectu nullam, tres litore cervos **
 * 185 prospicit errantes; hos tota armenta sequuntur **
 * a tergo et longum per valles pascitur agmen.  **
 * constitit hic arcumque manu celeresque sagittas  **
 * corripuit fidus quae tela gerebat Achates, **
 * which weapons his faithful Achates was carrying, **
 * ductoresque ipsos primum capita alta ferentes  **
 * 190 cornibus arboreis sternit, tum vulgus et omnem **
 * miscet agens telis nemora inter frondea turbam; **
 * nec prius absistit quam septem ingentia victor **
 * corpora fundat humi et numerum cum navibus aequet; **
 * slays seven massive bodies on the ground and equals the number with his ships; **
 * hinc portum petit et socios partitur in omnes.  **
