Qua strage non nulli permoti magistratus, partim metu mortis, partim desperatione rei publicae, paullulum a mea causa recesserunt: reliqui fuerunt quos neque terror nec vis nec spes nec metus nec promissa nec minae nec tela nec faces a vestra auctoritate, a populi Romani dignitate, a mea salute depellerent.
In the consternation which this bloodshed aroused, some of the magistrates, either through fear of death or despair of the state, abated somewhat of their zeal for my cause; but the remainder were men whom neither threats nor violence, neither hopes nor fears, neither promises nor menaces nor weapons nor brands, could wean from their adherence to the authority of your order, the honour of the Roman people, or the restoration of my fortunes.
