Haec dix­it Andro­clus. Tum omni­um precibus demis­sus est et poe­na solu­tus et leone suf­fragi­is pop­uli dona­tus.

Intel­lego autem hunc leonem, a quo tunc sep­a­ra­tus sum, cap­tum gra­ti­am mihi nunc ben­eficii et med­i­c­i­nae referre.” Is me sta­tim capi­tis damnav­it ded­itque ad bes­tias. Nam earum quas capiebat fer­arum mem­bra opimio­ra ad specum mihi fere­bat, quae ego, ignis copi­am non habens, merid­i­ano sole tos­ta ede­bam. Sed ubi mihi vita illa feri­na iam moles­ta fuit, leone absente, reliqui specum et tribus post diebus a mil­itibus vis­us appre­hen­susque sum et ad dominum ex Africa Romam deduc­tus. “Ex eo die tri­en­ni­um totum ego et leo in eodem specu eodemque vic­tu vix­imus. Ille tum, mea opera lev­a­tus, pede in manibus meis pos­i­to, recubuit et quievit.” Ibi ego spinam ingen­tem, pedi eius inhaer­entem, rev­el­li et sine magna iam formi­dine sic­cavi pen­i­tus atque deter­si cruorem. Pri­mo qui­dem con­spec­tu adve­ni­en­tis leo­nis ter­ri­tus sum sed postquam leo videt me procul delites­cen­tem, mitis et man­sue­tus acces­sit et sub­la­tum pedem mihi por­rex­it qua­si opis petendae gra­tia. Non mul­to post ad eun­dern specum ven­it hic leo, debili uno et cru­en­to pede, gemi­tus edens et mur­mu­ra ob dolorem cru­cia­tumque vul­ner­is. Tum die medio, in specum remo­tum late­bro­sumque me recon­do. Haec tam mira res max­i­mos pop­uli clam­ores exci­tat et imper­a­tor Andro­clum vocat quaer­itque, “Cur tibi uni atro­cis­simus leo pepercit?” Ibi Andro­clus rem mir­i­fi­cam nar­rat: “Cum in provin­cia,” inquit, “Africa pro­con­sul meus domi­nus esset, ego ibi iniquis eius cot­tid­i­a­n­is ver­beribus ad fugam sum coac­tus et, ut mihi a domi­no tutiores late­brae essent, in locos deser­tos et remo­tos con­ces­si ac, si defuis­set cibus, con­sil­i­um fuit mortem aliquo pacto quaerere. Tum qua­si propter mutu­am recog­ni­tionem lae­tos videres hominem et leonem. Andro­clus inter illa tam atro­cis fer­ae bland­i­men­ta amis­sum ani­mum recu­per­at, pau­la­tim ocu­los ad leonem refert. Hunc ille leo ubi vid­it procul, repente qua­si admi­rans stetit ac deinde sen­sim atque placide, tamquam famil­iaris, ad hominem acced­it. Tum cau­dam more adu­lan­tium canum blande movet, cru­raque et manus homin­is, prope iam exan­i­mati metu, lin­gua leniter demul­cet.

Intro­duc­tus erat inter com­plures ceteros ad pug­nam bes­tiarum datos servus viri con­sularis ei ser­vo Andro­clus nomen fuit. Mul­tae ibi fer­ae, sed praeter alia omnia leo cor­pore vas­to ter­ri­fi­coque fremi­tu et sonoro ani­mos ocu­losque omni­um in se con­vert­er­at. In cir­co max­i­mo vena­tio­n­is pugna pop­u­lo dabatur.
