Ita geniti itaque educati, cum primum adolevit aetas,
nec in stabulis nec ad pecora segnes venando peragrare saltus. Hinc robore
corporibus animisque sumpto
Thus having been born and thus brought up, as soon
as they came of age being lazy neither in their home nor (in working with) the flock, they wandered the woods hunting. From this (or: In this way) with strength in body and
spirit having been obtained (or: they achieved strength of body and mind)
iam non feras tantum subsistere sed in latrones praeda
onustos impetus facere pastoribusque rapta dividere et cum his crescente in
dies grege iuvenum seria ac iocos celebrare.
they now fought not only wild beasts but
they attacked robbers who were burdened with spoils and they divided the
captured spoils amongst the shepherds and with them they engaged in serious and
leisure affairs with the group of young men growing by the day (or: as the group of young men daily grew larger).
