Usages of inscriptio

In illa basilica puella inscriptionem Graecam in marmore legit.

In that basilica the girl reads a Greek inscription on marble.

Magister Romanus, qui nobiscum iter facit, dicit inscriptionem facilem esse.

The Roman teacher, who is traveling with us, says that the inscription is easy.

Puella respondet se inscriptiones Romanas nunc facilius legere posse, quia antea inscriptiones Graecas viderit.

The girl replies that she can now read Roman inscriptions more easily, because she had seen Greek inscriptions before.

Sic discimus non solum Latine legere, sed etiam verba Graeca in inscriptionibus et libris paulatim intellegere.

Thus we learn not only to read Latin, but also gradually to understand Greek words in inscriptions and books.
