Page 3 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2015 0480 01 © Cambridge International Examinations 2015 Specimen Translation Eumenes so that he could/might sacrifice to the god Apollo decided to go up to Delphi. The assassins, when they had found this out, after setting out were looking for a place suitable to attack him. They, approaching Delphi, before they reached the places crowded with houses, found, near the temple, a wall on the left side of the track along which they had to go one at a time. On the right hand side, the earth had fallen away to some depth. They hid themselves behind the wall, after building steps so that they could throw rocks from them at the king. First a crowd of the king’s friends were passing by. When they had come to that point where they had to go in single file, Pantaleon, an Aetolian chief, with whom the king was talking, was the first to enter the track. Then the assassins, rising up, hurled two huge rocks from the top of the wall, one of which hit the king’s head, the other his shoulder. While the assassins were throwing many rocks at him, the king fell from the path into the gorge. Although the rest of the friends, after they saw that the king was wounded, were so frightened that they escaped, Pantaleon however alone remained to guard the king. Finally slaves ran to the king and carried him weak from his wounds to safety.
