Non aliam premendi inimici occasionem aptiorem futuram ratus, odio suo pietatis praeferens speciem: Utinam, inquit, in principio quoque  huius rei nobiscum deliberasses! Suasissemus, si Philotae velles ignoscere, patereris potius ignorare eum quantum deberet tibi, quam usque ad mortis metum adductum saepius de periculo suo quam de tuo cogitare beneficio.
Thinking that there would be no more advantageous opportunity of ruining his enemy, disguising his hatred under a pretence of loyalty, he said: I only wish that at the very beginning of this matter you  had deliberated with us! We should have persuaded you, if you wished to pardon Philotas, to suffer him to be ignorant how much he was indebted to you, rather than, after he had been brought even to the very fear of death, to think more often of his own danger than of your kindness.
