Quid? creditis tot gentes alterius imperio ac nomine assuetas, non sacris, non moribus, non commercio linguae nobiscum cohaerentes eodem proelio domitas esse quo victae sunt? Vestris armis continentur, non suis moribus et, qui praesentes metuunt, in absentia hostes erunt.
Well, then! Do you believe that so many nations accustomed to the rule and name of another, united with us neither by religion, nor customs, nor community of language, have been subdued in the same battle in which they were overcome? It is by your arms that they are restrained, not by their dispositions, and those who fear us when we are present, in our absence will be enemies.
