[67] post autem cum esset¹ Scamander unius Staieni sententia absolutus², patronus autem Scamandri ne sua quidem sententia liberatus, acrioribus saluti suae remediis subveniendum putavit. tum ab³ Staieno, sicut ab homine ad excogitandum acutissimo, ad audendum impudentissimo, ad efficiendum acerrimo — haec enim ille et aliqua ex parte habebat et maiore ex parte se habere simulabat — auxilium capiti ac⁴ fortunis suis petere coepit. 25 iam hoc non⁵ ignoratis, iudices, ut etiam bestiae fame monitae⁶ plerumque ad eum locum ubi pastae sunt aliquando⁷ revertantur.

[67] But afterwards, when Scamander had been acquitted by the single vote of Stalenus, but when the patron of Scamander had not been acquitted even by his own judgment, he found that he must provide for his safety by stronger measures. Then he began to request of Stalenus as from a man most acute in contriving, most impudent in daring, and most intrepid in executing, (for all these qualities he had in a great degree, and he pretended to have them in a still greater degree,) assistance to save his credit and his fortunes. 25
You are not ignorant, O judges, that even beasts, when warned by hunger, usually return to that place where they have once been fed.
