Reading Exercise/Test Exercise

Thus the first ship of the people of Haluntium is captured [or: was captured, historical present], whose captain was a noble man from Haluntium, Phylarchus, whom the people of Locri later ransomed from these pirates at public expense. ... Then the ship from Apollonia is captured, and its captain Anthropinus is killed. While these things were being done, Cleomenes had in the meantime already reached the shore of Helorus. He had already thrown himself out of the ship onto the ground and had deserted the quadrireme [ship], as it was tossing about in the sea. The other captains of the ships followed Cleomenes at once [= per-] when (their) commander had stepped on shore.

(Cicero, Verr. 2.5.90-91, unadapted [!])
