vix mihi veri similia narrare videor: at ille etiam M. Plaetorium, quod ad eius supplicium exanimis ceciderat, continuo ibi mactavit, novus punitor misericordiae, apud quem iniquo animo scelus intueri scelus admittere fuit.
I feel I am narrating the barely believable: he actually slew M. Plaetorius on the spot because he had fainted away at Marius execution, a novel chastiser of pity, with whom to look upon a crime reluctantly was to commit one.
