Orberg LLPSI Cap. XXI has:
8. Quomodo Marcus matrem fallit?
To which I have written:
Id quod a Sexto scriptum est Marcus ipsum scriptum fuisse dicit.
I'm not sure about 'ipsum'. Should I have written 'se scriptum fuisse...' Or are they both wrong / right?
Does this look right

Both are wrong, I reckon, pmda. "Ab ipso" it should be.
Utrum, pmda, falsum est. Magis "ab ipso", nisi fallor.

I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction, and not because I'm confident in how I express myself. Latinè scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar, non quod confidenter me exprimam.

Or you could just reword:
Mārcus dīcit sē ipsum scrīpsisse id quod Sextus scrīpsit.
Mārcus dīcit sē ipsum scrīpsisse id quod Sextus scrīpsit.

Thanks. I didn't think it was right. I was just seeing if I'd god to grips with syntax etc... clearly not yet!
