Chunk 4 Flashcards
procedit iste repente e praetorio inflammatus scelere furore
crudelitate; in forum venit, nauarchos vocari iubet. qui nihil
metuerent, nihil suspicarentur, statim accurrunt. iste hominibus
miseris innocentibus inici catenas imperat. implorare illi fidem
praetoris, et quare id faceret rogare. tum iste hoc causae dicit, quod
classem praedonibus prodidissent.
That fellow suddenly came forth from the praetor’s headquarters inflamed with wickedness, madness, cruelty; he came into the forum, and ordered the ships’ captains to be summoned. Since they feared nothing, suspected nothing, they ran up immediately. That fellow ordered chains to be cast upon the wretched, innocent men. They implored the protection of the praetor, and asked why he was doing that. Then the fellow said that this was the reason, because they had betrayed the fleet to the pirates.
