qui fugiens a Mutina, ut ad se interficiendum ab Antonio missos equites advenisse cognovit, quodam in loco iustae poenae debitum spiritum tenebris furari conabatur, eoque iam facta irruptione Terentius fideli mendacio, obscuritate ipsa suffragante, Brutum se esse simulavit et corpus suum trucidandum equitibus obiecit.
In his flight from Mutina Brutus learned that mounted men had come, sent by Antony to kill him. In a dark hiding place he tried to steal away the life he owed to just retribution, but they broke in. Terentius pretended to be Brutus, the dimness aiding his loyal falsehood, and offered his body to the riders to slaughter.
