qui cum a triumviris inter proscriptos nomen suum propositum audisset, continuo praeturae insignia invasit, praecedentibusque in modum lictorum et apparitorum et servorum publicorum subornatis vehicula comprehendit, hospitia occupavit, obvios summovit, ac tam audaci usurpatione imperii in maxima luce densissimas hostilibus oculis tenebras offudit.
When he heard that his name had been published among the proscribed by the Triumvirs, he at once usurped the insignia of the Praetorship and with hirelings walking in front of him like lictors and orderlies and public slaves, he seized vehicles, took possession of hospices, removed persons coming his way, and by so bold an assumption of authority in broad daylight he plunged hostile eyes in deepest darkness.
