credidisset : the protasis is implied in neganti; § 521 , a (310, a); B. 305, I; G. 600, I H. 575, 9 (507, N.7); H-B. 578, 6. 191.24

sustinuisset , would have borne the brunt of. 191.25

latronum : highway robbery, with violence, was pretty common in the near neighborhood of Rome. 191.27

multi , etc.: here it is hinted that the crimes of Clodius (who had estates in Etruria) had made him many enemies (see note, sect. 26 ), on some of whom the suspicion might have fallen. 191.28

timentes : his spoliations were so notorious that many who had not yet suffered might be supposed to have killed him through fear of his future depredations. Observe that Cicero keeps before the minds of the jury the view that the killing of Clodius was a great public service.
