At nunc mones me ut vestris parentibus parcam! Non oportebat quidem vos scire quid de his statuissem, quo tristiores periretis, si qua vobis parentum memoria et cura est; sed olim istum morem occidendi cum scelestis insontes propinquos parentesque solvi, et profiteor in eodem honore futures omnes eos in  quo fuerunt.
But now you urge me to spare your relatives! You all certainly ought not to have known what I had resolved to do about them, in order that you might die with greater grief, if you have any memory and regard for your near of kin; but I long ago abandoned that custom to which you refer, of killing the innocent kinsmen and relatives along with the guilty parties, and I guarantee that they will all  hold the same rank that they had before.
