Meministine me ante diem XII Kalendas Novembris dicere in senatu fore in armis certo die, qui dieskal. futurus esset ante diem VI Novembris, C. Manlium, audaciae satellitem atque administrum tuae?
“Do you remember that I said in the Senate on October 21 that on the 27 of october, Gaius Manlius, a henchman and agent of your audacity, would be in arms?”
Q
Num me fefellit, Catilina, non modo res tanta, tam atrox tamque incredibilis, verum, id quod multo magis est admirandum, dies?
Did I, Catiline, not perceive, not only such a great, so atrocious and incredible event, but, what is much more astonishing, the day?”
Dixi ego idem in senatu caedem te optimatium contulisse in ante diem V Kalendas Novermbris, tum cum multi princeps civitatis Roma non tam sui conservandi quam tuorum consiliorum reprimendorum causa profugerunt.
I myself said in the Senate that you had planned the massacre of the nobles on the day October 27, at a time when many leading citizens of Rome fled, not so much for their own preservation as for the purpose of restraining your designs.”
Num infitari potes te illo ipso die meis prasedis, mea diligentia cicrumclusum commovere te contra rem publicam non potuisse, cum tu dicessu ceterorum nostra tamen qui remanissemus caede contentum te esse dicebas?
Can you deny that on that very day, you, surrounded by my guards, encircled by my vigilance, were unable to act against the state, although you said that in the absence of the others, you were satisfied with our bloodshed?”
Dico te priore nocte venisse inter falcarios-non agam obscure- in M. Laecae domum; convenisse eodem compluris eiusdem amentiae scelerisque socios.
“I say that on the previous night you came to the house of Marcus Laeca among the conspirators—I won’t speak in riddles—meeting there several associates of the same madness and wickedness.”
fuisti igitur apud Laecam illa nocte, catilina, distribuisti partes Italiae, statuisti quo quemque proficisci placeret, delegisti quos Romae relinqueres, quos tecum educeres, discripsisti urbis partes ad incendia, confirmasti te ipsum iam esse exiturum, dixisti paulum tibi esse etiam nunc morae, quod viverem.
“So, you were at Laeca’s that night, Catiline. You distributed the regions of Italy, determined where each person should go, selected who you would leave in Rome, who you would take with you, marked the parts of the city for fires, confirmed that you were about to depart, and you said that you needed a little more time because I was still alive.”
Reperti sunt duo equites Romani qui te ista cura liberarent et se illa ipsa nocte paulo ante lucem me in meo lecto interfecturos esse pollicerentur
“Two Roman knights were found who promised that they would free you from this care and that they would kill me in my own bed on that very night shortly before dawn.”
