Quaeso, commilitones, si Cebalinus me non adisset, nihil me de coniuratis scire voluisset, num hodie dicerem causam, nullo me nominante?  Dymnus sane ut vivat adhuc et velit mihi parcere, quid ceteri? Qui de se confitebuntur, me videlicet subtrahent! Maligna est calamitas, et fere noxius, cum suo supplicio crucietur, acquiescit  alieno.
Pray, fellow-soldiers, if Cebalinus had not come to me, if he had wished me to know nothing about the conspirators, would I to-day be pleading my cause, when  no one named me? Suppose that Dymnus were still alive and wished to spare me, what of the rest? Those who will confess their own guilt will of course be silent about me! Calamity is malign, and as a rule a guilty person, when suffering his own torture,  assents to that of another.
