quod si
but if
ita putasset
he had thought thus
certe…fuit
it would certainly be
optabilius
more preferable
Miloni
for Milo
dare iugulum
to offer his throat
Publio Clodio
to Publius Clodius
non…petitum
which had not been sought
semel
only once
ab illo
by that man
neque tum primum
nor was this the first time
quam iugulari
than to have his throat cut
a vobis
by you
quia
because
se non…tradidisset
he had not handed himself over
illi
to that man
iugulandum
to have his throat cut
sin…nemo vestrum
but if none of you
hoc…ita sentit
think this in this way
illud
that question which
iam…venit
now comes
in iudicium
before the court
non occisusne sit
is not has he been killed
quod fatemur
which we admit
sed iure an iniuria
but whether it was with or without justification
quod…saepe quaesitum est
which has often been the subject of enquiry
multis in causis
in many cases
constat
it is agreed
insidias factas esse
that a trap was set
et id est…factum
and it is that deed
quod senatus…iudicavit
that the senate has judged to be
contra rem publicam
against the republic
incertum est
it is uncertain
ab utro factae sint
by which of the men it was set
de hoc igitur
about this question therefore
latum est
a law has been passed
ut quaereretur
that it should be investigated
ita et
and thus
senatus
the senate
notavit
has masked with disapproval
rem, non hominem
the event, not the man
et Pompeius…quaestionem tulit
and Pompey has led an enquiry
de iure, non de facto
about the question of justification, not about the deed
num…aliud
surely nothing else
igitur
therefore
in iudicium venit
comes before the court
nisi
except
uter utri insidias fecerit
which of the two set the trap for which
profecto nihil
definitely nothing
si hic illi
if this man set it for that man
ut ne sit impune
let him not go unpunished
si ille huic
if that man set it for this man
tum nos scelere solvamur
then let us be acquitted of guilt
