Titinii vero non oblitteranda silentio virtus, qui oculis paulisper haesit inopinato iacentis ducis spectaculo attonitus, deinde profusus in lacrimas etsi imprudens inquit, imperator, causa tibi mortis fui, tamen, ne id ipsum impunitum sit, accipe me fati tui comitem, superque exanime corpus eius iugulo suo gladium capulo tenus demisit, ac permixto utriusque sanguine duplex victima iacuit, pietatis haec, erroris illa.
But Titiniuss noble conduct should not be effaced by silence. For a short while he stood gazing, amazed at the unexpected sight of his commander lying dead, then, bursting into tears, General, he said, though I caused your death unwittingly, even that must not go unpunished, so receive me as the companion of your fate, and above Cassius lifeless body plunged his sword to the hilt in his own throat. There they lay in the mingled blood of both, two victims, one of loyalty, the other of error.
