Si ad inpetrandum nihil causae haberem praeter miserandam fortunam, quod paulo ante rex genere, fama atque copiis potens, nunc deformatus aerumnis, inops, alienas opes expecto, tamen erat maiestatis populi Romani prohibere iniuriam neque pati quoiusquam regnum per scelus crescere.
If I had no justification for making a successful appeal except my pitiable lot (the fact that despite being a short time ago a king, mighty in family, fame and fortune, I now look out for help from others, broken by woes and destitute), it would nevertheless be in keeping with the majesty of the Roman people to prevent an injustice and not to allow anyones kingdom to grow great through crime.
