Deos hominesque testamur, imperator, nos arma neque contra patriam cepisse neque quo periculum aliis faceremus, sed uti corpora nostra ab iniuria tuta forent, qui miseri, egentes violentia atque crudelitate faeneratorum plerique patriae sed omnes fama atque fortunis expertes sumus.
We call gods and men to witness, general, that we have taken up arms, not against our native land nor to bring danger upon others, but to protect our own persons from outrage; for wretched and destitute, thanks to the violent cruelty of moneylenders, a great many of us are deprived of our native land, but all are without repute as well as fortune.
