quos haec secum locutos crediderim: nolumus caput alterius petentem in iudicium triumphos et tropaea spoliaque et devictarum navium rostra deferre: terribilis sit <h>is adversus hostem, civis vero salutem tanto fragore gloriae subnixus ne insequatur.
I imagine people said to themselves: We dont want somebody out for somebody elses blood bringing triumphs and trophies and spoils and beaks of vanquished ships into the courtroom. Let him be a terror with all this to an enemy of Rome, but not attack the life of a citizen in reliance on such a fanfare of glory.
