quis deorum, gravissimi sceleris ultor, illam dexteram, <quae> in necem patriae parentis exarserat, tanto torpore illigavit ut se tremibunda Pindari genibus summitteret, ne publici parricidii quas merebatur poenas arbitrio piae victoriae exsolveret? tu profecto tunc, dive Iuli, caelestibus tuis vulneribus debitam exegisti vindictam, perfidum erga te caput sordidi auxilii supplex fieri cogendo, eo animi aestu compulsum ut neque retinere vitam vellet neque finire sua manu auderet.
Which of the gods avenging a most heinous crime tied that hand, which had flared up to kill the father of his country, with a numbness such that it lowered itself in trembling to the knees of Pindarus, lest at the arbitrament of pious victory it pay the penalty for public parricide as it deserved? Surely, divine Julius, you then wreaked the vengeance due to your celestial wounds, forcing your betrayer to go suppliant for ignominious aid, driven by such agitation of mind that he neither wished to retain his life nor dared to end it with his own hand.
