Chapter 6 Translation

*sorry i can not find some translations*

It is not light yet, but cornelia gets up and walks through the country house. Father and mother and Marcus still sleep. Also sextus sleeps and does not annoy Cornelia. However the slaves and slave-women do not sleep. Everyone now gets up and prepares to work, because they fear cornelia and aurelia.
Cornelia watches the slave-woman, named Syram, who cleans through the country house and the other, named Thressam, who prepares to cook food. Many slaves soon run in the fields where they work hard. they carry water from the river to the country house. Now cornelia and aurelia get up. Cornelius looks for Davus who is in the garden. Suddenly Cornelius is angry. He scolds Davus because he sits under a tree and does not work. When Davus hears cornelius. He immediatley rises and gets ready to work.
Aurelia teaches Cornelia to look after the country house. The slave women clean the country house, cook the food, and spin wool. Aurelia scold the slave women if they are lazy. Cornelia watches mother and everything she is doing to prepare, she wants to help mother but she can neither scold the slaves nor slavewomen herself. The slaves and slave women now work actively. It is neccessary that neither the slaves or slavewomen are scolded.
