Salvēte, sodālēs.
There are two new words in today’s reading, the verb advenit/adveniunt and the noun ōstiārius.
The difference between venit/veniunt and advenit/adveniunt is best explained with an example.
Mārcus et Iūlia sunt in hortō. Mārcus Aemiliam vocat. Aemilia venit. Iūlia Iūlium vocat. Iūlius ad hortum advenit.
In truth, Aemilia advenit. and Iūlius ad hortum venit. are both perfectly good Latin sentences, but there is something pleasing about the sentences in the above example.
Ōstiārius is defined for us in the margin using only words which we have already met. I truely hope that you gain some satisfaction from learning the meaning of this new word without any recourse to another language.
