Nicomachum, religione quoque deum astrictum, conscientiam suam exonerare properasse; Philotam consumpto per ludum iocumque paene toto die, gravatum esse pauca verba pertinentia ad caput regis tam longo et forsitan supervacuo  inserere sermoni.
Nicomachus, even though bound by an oath to the gods, had hastened to unburden his conscience; Philotas, after spending the whole day in amusement and merriment, had found it difficult to find room, in so long and perhaps superfluous a talk, for a few words  relating to the life of his king!
