[174] at repentina morte periit. quod si esset ita factum, tamen ea res propter multorum eius modi casum minime¹ firmam veneni suspicionem haberet²; si³ esset suspiciosum, tamen potius ad alios⁴ quam ad habitum pertineret. verum in eo ipso homines impudentissime mentiuntur. id ut intellegatis et mortem eius et quem ad modum post mortem in habitum sit crimen a matre quaesitum cognoscite.

For A. Cluentius Perseus (Cicero. The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Volume 2. Yonge, Charles Duke, translator. London: Bell, 1856.) — 174 focus

[174] “But he died by a sudden death.” But if that was the case, still that circumstance, from the number of men who die in that way, would not give rise to any well-grounded suspicion of poison. If it were a suspicious circumstance, still the suspicion would apply to others rather than to Habitus. But as to that fact itself, men tell most impudent lies. And that you may see this, listen to this statement of the truth respecting his death, and how after his death an accusation was sought for out of it against Habitus, by his mother.
