Quem enim pium et bonae mentis, non amicum modo, sed ex ultima plebe, auditis quae ad eum delata erant, non protinus ad regem  fuisse cursurum? ne Cebalini quidem exemplo, qui ex fratre comperta ipsi nuntiasset, commotum esse Parmenionis filium, praefectum equitatus, omnium arcanorum regis arbitrum! Simulasse etiam, non vacasse sermoni suo regem, ne index alium internuntium  quaereret.
For who, if a loyal man, and of good intention, not to say a friend, but even one of the lowest condition, on hearing what had been revealed to Philotas, would not at once have hastened  to the king? To think that the son of Parmenion, as commander of the cavalry a confidant of all the kings secrets, was not moved even by the example of Cebalinus, who had announced to him what he had learned from his brother! That he also pretended that the king had no time to talk with him, for fear that the informer might seek another intermediary!
