Ea quom Ciceroni nuntiarentur, ancipiti malo permotus, quod neque urbem ab insidiis privato consilio longius tueri poterat, neque exercitus Manli quantus aut quo consilio foret satis conpertum habebat, rem ad senatum refert, iam antea volgi rumoribus exagitatam.
When these developments were reported to Cicero, he was greatly disturbed by the twofold peril, because he could no longer by his unofficial precautions protect the city against the plots, nor did he have sufficient intelligence as to the size and purpose of Manliuss army; he, therefore, laid the matter before the senate, it having already been the subject of popular gossip.
