Id quidem Philotas, qui graviora supplicia metueret, haud sane iniquo  animo audiebat; at rex in contionem reversus, sive ut in custodia quoque torqueret, sive ut diligentius cuncta cognosceret, concilium in posterum diem distulit et, quamquam in vesperam inclinabat dies,  tamen amicos convocari iubet.
This indeed Philotas, who feared severer tortures, heard by no means reluctantly;  but the king, having returned to the assembly, either that he might also torture him in prison, or that he might investigate the whole matter more carefully, adjourned the council to the following day, and although the time was approaching evening, he nevertheless ordered his friends to be called together.
