Quidnam homines putarent, si tum occisus esset cum tu illum in foro inspectante populo Romano gladio insecutus es negotiumque transegisses, nisi se ille in scalas tabernae librariae coniecisset eisque oppilatis impetum tuum compressisset?
Now what in the world would people be thinking if he had lost his life on the memorable occasion when you chased him with a sword in the Forum before the eyes of the Roman people and would have finished the job, if he had not flung himself under the stairs of a bookshop and barricaded them, thus stopping your assault?
