It was hard
Which is what I was expecting after the extremely easy paper 1.

The translation definitely took some serious thinking
What did people get for the first line of the long translation?
I got:
Octavian preferred (imperfect) to save his words which had been able to kill a gladiator.

Also any grade boundary predictions?
Octavian preferred to save those, whom he was able to kill with a sword, with words.

Low low low grade boundaries, dw! :smile:
(and he shouted at the soldiers of Antony that Antony had escaped from the battle, and asked (LIT: searched for) why they were fighting in vain without a leader)
