urbem enim a Mitylenis, quo se contulerat, repetentem in Atheniensium portu pugione confodit, protinusque ad irritamenta vesaniae suae trucidanda tetendit, amicitiae hostis, divini beneficii interceptor, publicae religionis, quod ad salutem clarissimi civis recuperandam attinuit, acerba labes.
As Marcellus was returning to Rome from Mitylene, where he had betaken himself, in the harbour of Athens, Magius stabbed him with a dagger and went straight on to slaughter the provocations of his lunacy: an enemy of friendship, an interceptor of the divine benefaction, a sad defilement of a sacred public obligation so far as concerned the restoration of a most illustrious citizen.
