[2] non illa¹ praesidia quae pro templis omnibus cernitis, etsi contra vim conlocata² sunt, non adferunt tamen oratori³ terroris⁴ aliquid, ut in foro et in iudicio, quamquam praesidiis salutaribus et necessariis saepti sumus, tamen ne non timere quidem sine aliquo timore possimus. quae si opposita Miloni putarem, cederem tempori⁵, iudices, nec enim⁶ inter tantam vim armorum existimarem esse orationi⁷ locum. sed me recreat et reficit Cn. Pompei, sapientissimi et iustissimi⁸ viri, consilium, qui profecto nec iustitiae suae putaret esse, quem reum sententiis iudicum tradidisset, eundem telis militum dedere, nec sapientiae temeritatem concitatae multitudinis auctoritate publica armare.

Commentary on Defense of Milo (Select Orations of Cicero (Allen and Greenough's Edition). Greenough, James Bradstreet; Kittredge, George Lyman, editors. Boston, London: Ginn & Company, 1897.) focus

pro templis : see plan of Forum. The guards held the entrances to these temples as important strategic points for defence against the mob.

non . . . non adferunt aliquid , do not fail to bring something (of terror or constraint). 171.11

ut . . . possimus , so that we cannot even be relieved of fear ( non timere ) without some fear .

foro ,

judicio : such a display of arms in places especially devoted to occupations of peace must necessarily cause some uneasiness. 171.14

si . . . putarem : Cicero artfully assumes throughout the oration that the authorities (including Pompey) are on the side of Milo. 171.16

me recreat : to preserve the emphatic position we may change the voice, — I am reassured; so

reficit , I am revived. 171.17

justitiae suae : § 343 , c (214, d); cf. B. 198, 3; cf. G. 366; cf. H. 439 (401); H.-B. 340; 50 sapientiae in 1.19. 171.18

putaret , would not have thought: § 446 (311, a); B. 280, 4; G. 258; H. 552, 554, 2, 3 (485 and N.1); H.-B. 519, 2.
