The cleverness of the Athenian leader Themistocles defeats the Persians cum Xerxes1, rex Persarum2, Athenas peteret, cives legatos Delphos3 miserunt, nam cognoscere volebant quid necesse esset facere de rebus suis. Pythia4 legatis respondit necesse esse muris ligneis5 se munire. cum nemo id responsum intellegeret, Themistocles6 cives monuit ut in naves se suasque res ponerent. tali consilio probato7, ad classem addiderunt8 multas naves, suaque omnia quae moveri poterant deportaverunt9. arcem sacerdotibus10 tradiderunt, reliquum oppidum reliquerunt. sed Xerxes1, qui Graecos in priore11 pugna iam superaverat, statim Athenas petivit, urbemque, nullis defendentibus, interfectis sacerdotibus10 quos in arce invenerat, incensam delevit. cum nautae Graecae classis territi manere non auderent et plurimi hortarentur ut a navibus suis discederent seque intra muros defenderent, Themistocles6 tamen solus restitit12. itaque nocte servum fidelem ad regem misit ut ei nuntiaret hostes eius fugere. hac re audita, Xerxes1, qui verbis servi credidit, postero13 die contra Graecos navigavit. tam angusto14 mari proelium commisit15 ut eius multitudo16 navium se movere non posset. victus est magis etiam consilio Themistoclis6 quam armis Graeciae.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2006 question paper 0480 LATIN 0480/01 Paper 1, maximum raw mark 65 These mark schemes are published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. They show the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. They do not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be recorded in the published Report on the Examination. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the Examination. The minimum marks in these components needed for various grades were previously published with these mark schemes, but are now instead included in the Report on the Examination for this session. • CIE will not enter into discussion or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2006 question papers for most IGCSE and GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses. www.XtremePapers.com
