§7.67.1τότε δʼ οὖν τῆς δίκης τοῦτο λαβούσης τὸ τέλος ὁ μὲν δῆμος ἀπελύετο προσειληφὼς ἀνόητον αὔχημα καὶ καθῃρηκέναι τὴν ἀριστοκρατίαν οἰόμενος, οἱ δὲ πατρίκιοι κατηφεῖς τε καὶ ταπεινοὶ καὶ διʼ αἰτίας ἔχοντες τὸν Οὐαλέριον, ὑφʼ οὗ πεισθέντες ἐπέτρεψαν τῷ δήμῳ τὴν δίκην·
When the trial had thus come to this end, the people departed, having acquired a foolish pride and imagining that they had overthrown the aristocracy; but the patricians were dejected and humiliated, and held Valerius in blame, persuaded by whom they had committed the trial to the people.
ἦν τʼ οἰμωγὴ καὶ δάκρυα τῶν οἰκτειρόντων τε καὶ προπεμπόντων τὸν Μάρκιον.
And there was wailing and tears from those who pitied and escorted Marcius.
§7.67.2αὐτὸς δʼ ὁ Μάρκιος οὔτʼ ἀνακλαυσάμενος ὤφθη τὰς αὑτοῦ τύχας οὔτʼ ἀποιμώξας οὔτʼ ἄλλο εἰπὼν ἢ δράσας ἀνάξιον τῆς ἑαυτοῦ μεγαλοφροσύνης οὐδʼ ὁτιοῦν· ἔτι δὲ μᾶλλον ἐδήλωσε τὴν γενναιότητα καὶ τὴν καρτερίαν τῆς γνώμης, ἐπειδὴ οἴκαδε ἀφικόμενος γυναῖκά τʼ εἶδε καὶ μητέρα καταρρηγνυμένας τοὺς πέπλους καὶ τὰ στέρνα τυπτούσας καὶ οἷα εἰκός ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοιαύταις συμφοραῖς λέγειν τὰς ἀποζευγνυμένας ἀπὸ τῶν ἀναγκαιοτάτων σφίσι θανάτοις ἢ φυγαῖς ἀναβοώσας.
But Marcius himself was neither seen weeping over his own fortunes nor wailing, nor saying or doing anything at all unworthy of his own greatness of mind; and he showed the nobility and fortitude of his resolution even more when, having arrived home, he saw his wife and mother tearing their garments, beating their breasts, and crying out such things as are natural for women to say who are separated by death or exile from those dearest to them.
§7.67.3οὐθὲν γὰρ πρὸς τὰ δάκρυα καὶ τοὺς θρήνους τῶν γυναικῶν ἔπαθεν, ἀσπασάμενος δʼ αὐτὰς μόνον, καὶ παρακαλέσας γενναίως φέρειν τὰς συμφοράς, τούς τε παῖδας αὐταῖς παρακαταθέμενος· ὁ γὰρ πρεσβύτερος τῶν παίδων ἦν δέκα γεγονὼς ἔτη, ὁ δὲ νεώτερος ἔτι ὑπαγκάλιος· ἄλλο δʼ οὐθὲν οὔτε φιλοφρονησάμενος οὔτε διοικησάμενος οἷς εἰς τὴν φυγὴν χρήσεσθαι ἔμελλεν, ἐξῄει κατὰ σπουδὴν ἐπὶ τὰς πύλας οὐθενὶ δηλώσας, ὅποι τὴν ἀπαλλαγὴν ποιήσοιτο.
For he was not at all affected by the tears and lamentations of the women, but having only embraced them and exhorted them to bear their misfortunes with nobility, and having commended his children to them—for the elder of his sons was ten years old, and the younger was still a babe in arms—without showing any other sign of affection or arranging any of the things he would need for his exile, he went out in haste to the gates, without declaring to anyone where he would make his retreat.
