Summary:
In this chapter of the book, the reader learns about structure of the Roman family, extending from the master of the household down to the slaves and slave women. Julius and Aemilia are established as the parents who have two sons, Marcus and Quintus, along with a little girl, Julia. Medus and Davus are described as two of the slaves of Julius, and Delia and Syra are two of the slave women of Aemilia. Cornelius, another master, has a discussion with Davus about the size of their families and the number of slaves each family owns. Along with this, the book discusses its own format in the "Liber Tuus Latinus" section to end the chapter.
Vocabulary:
There was no troubling vocabulary in this chapter. It remained very basic and I already knew it all.
Grammar:
The grammar in this section was also relatively easy, as it was all previous material I had covered. Grammatical topics covered in this chapter included the different genders of nouns (masculine, feminine, neuter), and the Genitive case for showing family and relational ties.
