[64] ergo illa falsa fuerunt quae certe vera exstitissent, si Milo admisisset aliquid quod non posset honeste vereque defendere. 24 quid? quae postea sunt in eum congesta, quae quamvis etiam mediocrium delictorum conscientiam¹ perculissent, ut sustinuit, di immortales! sustinuit? immo vero ut contempsit ac pro nihilo putavit, quae neque maximo animo nocens neque innocens nisi fortissimus vir neglegere potuisset! scutorum, gladiorum, pilorum, frenorum² etiam multitudo deprehendi posse indicabatur; nullum in urbe vicum, nullum angiportum esse dicebant in quo non Miloni conducta³ esset domus; arma in villam Ocriculanam devecta Tiberi, domus in clivo Capitolino scutis referta⁴, plena omnia malleolorum⁵ ad urbis incendia comparatorum: haec non delata solum, sed paene credita, nec ante repudiata sunt quam quaesita.

Commentary

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

in praetura : at the time of his death Clodius was candidate for this office (see Introd. to the oration). 181.12

non multos mensis : really less than six. At whatever time the magistrates were elected, they could hold office only for the year for which they were chosen. In this case, since the election was delayed till long after the beginning of the year, the term of office was very considerably shortened. 181.13

honoris gradum : the ambition of a Roman was to complete the series of curule offices ( cursus honorum) as speedily as possible. 181.16

annum suum , the regular year in which he could legally be a candidate. 181.17

religione aliqun , from some religious scruple, as it is generally (Ut fit ).
