Quare ego ita censeo: quom nefario consilio sceleratorum civium res publica in maxuma pericula venerit, eique indicio T. Volturci et legatorum Allobrogum convicti confessique sint caedem, incendia aliaque se foeda atque crudelia facinora in civis patriamque paravisse, de confessis, sicuti de manufestis rerum capitalium, more maiorum supplicium sumundum
Therefore, this is my recommendation: whereas our country has landed in the greatest peril as a result of the abominable plot of wicked citizens, and those men have been proven guilty by the testimony of Titus Volturcius and the envoys of the Allobroges, and have confessed that they prepared murder, arson, and other detestable and cruel crimes against their fellow citizens and their native land, punishment after the manner of our forefathers ought to be inflicted on those who have confessed, just as though they had been caught red-handed in capital offenses.
