Scroll until you find :
Livy's History of Rome: Book 30
Close of the Hannibalic War

Translation starts with :
It was now the sixteenth year of the Punic War. The new consuls, Cnaeus Servilius and Caius Servilius, laid before the senate the questions of the general policy of the republic, the conduct of the war and the assignment of the provinces. It was resolved that the consuls should come to an arrangement, or failing that decide by ballot, which of them should oppose Hannibal in Bruttium whilst the other should have Etruria and the Ligurians as his province.........

I'm in Honors latin 3 and use the same series, but i did this a while ago s it might not all be right...... Davus is worried, for it is necessary to find Geta. When a slave runs away, the master always blames the overseer. Also he is always beaten. Cornelius is a good master, but when Cornelius is angry - Davus therefore immediately calls together the slaves to the area and asks " Where is Geta?" No one is able to respond.Davus therefore sends one slave into the garden, another into the fields and another into the vineyard. In the garden and the fields and the vineyard they look for Geta. Neither in the garden, nor the ditches of the fields, nor in the trees of the vineyard is Geta found. Davus therefore orders the slaves to lead the dogs into the area.One slave carries the tunic of Geta into the area.The dogs come and catch the sent of the tunic. Soon Davus leads the slaves into the fields with the dogs. The dogs bark. Along the fields of Cornelius then through the neighboring villa they run. Neither the stream nor the ditch prevents the dogs. They come upon a trace of Geta, but Geta is not able to be found. At last Davus urges on into the woods. Geta remains in a tree and there sleeps. The dogs barks awake him. Now however Geta is not able to flee and sits on the branch, immobile and frightened. The dogs, when they approach the tree, do not catch sight of Geta himself. The dogs bark, the slaves approach. They see the unhappy slave who hides in the branches of the tree. "Come down, Geta!" shouts Davus. Geta climbs down. Davus snatches his tunic and beats him with a stick. Then the slaves were ordered to drag Geta to the villa and brand the letters FUG on his forehead. Glad i can help but dont rely on others to do the work for you. Latin is a difficult laguage especially if you fall behind now. Work hard at it and put in the time and you'll get it :]
