nonne bellum adversus populum Romanum et Italiam professus adversus ipsam fidem acrius gessit, mendaciis et fallacia quasi praeclaris artibus gaudens? quo evenit ut alioqui insignem nominis sui memoriam relicturus, in dubio maiorne an peior vir haberi deberet poneret.
Professing to make war against the Roman people and Italy, did he not wage it more fiercely against good faith itself, revelling in lies and deceit as in fine arts? As a result he made it a question whether he should be considered more a great man or more a bad man, who otherwise would have left a glorious memory of his name.
