Rosc. Am. 34.1Videāmus nunc strictim, sīcut cētera, quae post mortem Sex. Roscī abs tē, T. Roscī, facta sunt;Let us now look briefly, as with the rest, at what was done by you, Titus Roscius, after the death of Sextus Roscius; Rosc. Am. 34.1quae ita aperta et manifesta sunt ut mēdius fidius, iūdicēs, invītus ea dīcam.and these things are so open and manifest that, so help me, gentlemen of the jury, I shall speak of them unwillingly. Rosc. Am. 34.1Vereor enim, cuicuimodī es, T. Roscī, nē ita hunc videar voluisse servāre ut tibi omnīnō nōn pepercerim.For I fear, whatever sort of man you are, Titus Roscius, that I may seem to have wished to save my client in such a way as to have spared you not at all. Rosc. Am. 34.1Cum hoc vereor et cupiō tibi aliquā ex parte quod salvā fidē possim parcere, rūrsus immūtō voluntātem meam;While I fear this, and wish to spare you in some measure, as far as I can with good faith, I change my mind again; Rosc. Am. 34.1venit enim mihi in mentem ōris tuī.for your face comes into my mind.
Rosc. Am. 34.1Tēne, cum cēterī sociī tuī fugerent ac sē occultārent, ut hoc iūdicium nōn dē illōrum praedā sed dē huius maleficiō fierī vidērētur, potissimum tibi partīs istās dēpoposcisse ut in iūdiciō versārēre et sedērēs cum accūsātōre?Did you, when the rest of your partners were fleeing and hiding themselves, so that this trial might seem to be held not about their plunder but about my client's crime, demand that particular role for yourself above all, so that you might busy yourself in the trial and sit beside the prosecutor? Rosc. Am. 34.1Quā in rē nihil aliud adsequeris nisi ut ab omnibus mortālibus audācia tua cognōscātur et impudentia.In this you achieve nothing else but that your audacity and shamelessness become known to all mortals. Rosc. Am. 34.96Occīsō Sex. Rosciō quis prīmus Ameriam nūntiat?When Sextus Roscius had been killed, who first brought the news to Ameria? Rosc. Am. 34.96Mallius Glaucia, quem iam anteā nōmināvī, tuus cliēns et familiāris.Mallius Glaucia, whom I named earlier, your client and intimate friend. Rosc. Am. 34.96Quid attinuit eum potissimum nūntiāre quod, sī nūllum iam ante cōnsilium dē morte ac dē bonīs eius inierās nūllamque societātem neque sceleris neque praemī cum homine ūllō coierās, ad tē minimē omnium pertinēbat?What business was it of his, above all men, to report something which, if you had formed no plan beforehand concerning his death and his property, and had entered into no partnership either in crime or in reward with any man, concerned you least of all?
Rosc. Am. 34.96— Suā sponte Mallius nūntiat.— Mallius brings the news of his own accord. Rosc. Am. 34.96— Quid, quaesō, eius intererat?— What, I ask, was it to him? Rosc. Am. 34.96An, cum Ameriam nōn huiusce reī causā vēnisset, cāsū accidit ut id quod Rōmae audierat prīmus nūntiāret?Or, when he had come to Ameria for some other purpose, did it happen by chance that he was the first to report what he had heard at Rome? Rosc. Am. 34.96Cuius reī causā vēnerat Ameriam?For what purpose had he come to Ameria? Rosc. Am. 34.96"Nōn possum" inquit "dīvīnāre."'I cannot,' he says, 'guess.' Rosc. Am. 34.96Eō rem iam addūcam ut nihil dīvīnātiōne opus sit.I shall now bring the matter to the point where there is no need of guessing. Rosc. Am. 34.96Quā ratiōne T. Rosciō Capitōnī prīmō nūntiāvit?On what grounds did he bring the news first to Titus Roscius Capito? Rosc. Am. 34.96Cum Ameriae Sex. Roscī domus uxor līberīque essent, cum tot propinquī cognātīque optimē convenientēs, quā ratiōne factum est ut iste tuus cliēns, sceleris tuī nūntius, T. Rosciō Capitōnī potissimum nūntiāret?When Sextus Roscius' house, wife and children were at Ameria, when there were so many relatives and kinsmen on the best of terms with him, how did it come about that this client of yours, the messenger of your crime, brought the news to Titus Roscius Capito above all?
Rosc. Am. 34.97Occīsus est ā cēnā rediēns;He was killed returning from dinner; Rosc. Am. 34.97nōndum lūcēbat cum Ameriae scītum est.it was not yet light when it was known at Ameria. Rosc. Am. 34.97Quid hic incrēdibilis cursus, quid haec tanta celeritās festīnātiōque significat?What does this incredible run, what does this great speed and haste signify? Rosc. Am. 34.97Nōn quaerō quis percusserit;I do not ask who struck the blow; Rosc. Am. 34.97nihil est, Glaucia, quod metuās;there is nothing, Glaucia, for you to fear; Rosc. Am. 34.97nōn excutiō tē, sī quid forte ferrī habuistī, nōn scrūtor;I do not shake you out to see whether you happened to have some steel on you, I do not search you; Rosc. Am. 34.97nihil ad mē arbitror pertinēre;I think that has nothing to do with me; Rosc. Am. 34.97quoniam cuius cōnsiliō occīsus sit inveniō, cuius manū sit percussus nōn labōrō.since I discover by whose plan he was killed, I do not trouble myself about by whose hand he was struck. Rosc. Am. 34.97Vnum hoc sūmō quod mihi apertum tuum scelus rēsque manifesta dat: Vbi aut unde audīvit Glaucia?I take this one point, which your open crime and the manifest facts give me: where or from whom did Glaucia hear it?
Rosc. Am. 34.97quī tam citō scīvit?how did he know so quickly? Rosc. Am. 34.97Fac audīsse statim;Suppose he heard it at once; Rosc. Am. 34.97quae rēs eum nocte ūnā tantum itineris contendere coēgit?what compelled him to press on so long a journey in a single night? Rosc. Am. 34.97quae necessitās eum tanta premēbat ut, sī suā sponte iter Ameriam faceret, id temporis Rōmā proficīscerētur, nūllam partem noctis requiēsceret?what necessity pressed him so hard that, if he was making the journey to Ameria of his own accord, he set out from Rome at that hour and rested no part of the night?
