§11.27.1συνεγγιζόντων δʼ αὐτῶν τῇ πόλει, τοῖς μὲν ἄλλοις στρατιώταις εἰς τὴν ἐπαύριον ἅμα τῷ φωτὶ παρηγγέλλετο μετὰ τῆς παρασκευῆς ἐξάγειν, §11.27.2τοῖς δὲ χιλιάρχοις καὶ τοῖς ἐπάρχοις, ὅταν ἐκπορευομένοις μετὰ τοῦτο τὸ πρῶτον τὰς μὲν ἀποσκευὰς ἀποτιθέναι, τοὺς δὲ στρατιώτας κατέχειν ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις ἐπὶ τῆς πύλης, κἄπειτα διελεῖν σφᾶς ἐφʼ ἑκάστην τῶν πυλῶν καὶ φροντίζειν ἵνα μηδεὶς ἐκπορεύηται τῶν ἀποστατῶν.
As they were approaching the city, the other soldiers were ordered to march out with their baggage on the following day at daybreak, while the tribunes and prefects, when they marched out after this, were ordered first to have the soldiers deposit their baggage, and to keep them under arms at the gate, and then to distribute them at each of the gates and to take care that none of the mutineers should go out.
§11.27.3οἱ δὲ πρὸς τὴν ἀπάντησιν ἀποτεταγμένοι, συμμίξαντες τοῖς παραγινομένοις πρὸς αὐτούς, ἀπῆγον μετὰ φιλανθρωπίας τοὺς ἐν ταῖς αἰτίαις κατὰ τὸ συντεταγμένον.
Those who had been detailed to meet them, having joined those who were arriving, led away the accused with kindness according to their instructions.
§11.27.4τούτοις μὲν οὖν ὑπʼ αὐτὸν τὸν καιρὸν ἐρρήθη συλλαβεῖν τοὺς πέντε καὶ τριάκοντʼ ἄνδρας, ἐπειδὰν δειπνήσωσι, δήσαντάς τε τηρεῖν, μηδενὸς ἔτι τῶν ἔνδον ἐκπορευομένου πλὴν τοῦ διασαφήσοντος τῷ στρατηγῷ παρʼ ἑκάστου τὸ γεγονός.
To these officers indeed, instructions had been given at that very moment to arrest the thirty-five men when they had finished dinner, and to keep them bound and guarded, while no one else inside was to go out, except the messenger sent from each quarters to report the event to the general.
§11.27.5πραξάντων δὲ τῶν χιλιάρχων τὸ συνταχθέν, εἰς τὴν ἐπιοῦσαν ὁ στρατηγὸς ἅμα τῷ φωτὶ θεωρῶν τοὺς παραγινομένους ἡθροισμένους εἰς τὴν ἀγοράν, συνεκάλει τὴν ἐκκλησίαν.
When the tribunes had executed their orders, on the following day at daybreak, the general, seeing that those who had arrived were assembled in the forum, called an assembly.
§11.27.6πάντων δὲ συντρεχόντων κατὰ τὸν ἐθισμὸν ἅμα τῷ σημῆναι, καὶ μετεώρων ὄντων ταῖς διανοίαις οἷόν ποτʼ ὄψονται τὸν στρατηγὸν καὶ τί ποτʼ ἀκούσονται περὶ τῶν ἐνεστώτων, §11.27.7πρὸς μὲν τοὺς ἐπὶ τῶν πυλῶν χιλιάρχους ὁ Πόπλιος διεπέμψατο, κελεύων αὐτοὺς ἄγειν τοὺς στρατιώτας ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις καὶ περιστῆναι τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, αὐτὸς δὲ προπορευθεὶς ἐξέστησε ταῖς διανοίαις πάντας εὐθέως κατὰ τὴν πρώτην φαντασίαν·
As everyone ran together according to custom as soon as the signal was given, and their minds were in suspense as to what kind of appearance the general would present and what they would hear concerning the present state of affairs, Publius sent word to the tribunes at the gates, ordering them to bring the soldiers under arms and surround the assembly; and he himself, coming forward, immediately astounded the minds of all by his very first appearance.
§11.27.8ἔτι γὰρ ὑπολαμβάνοντες αὐτὸν ἀσθενῶς ἔχειν οἱ πολλοί, κἄπειτα παρὰ τὴν προσδοκίαν αἰφνιδίως ἐρρωμένον θεασάμενοι κατὰ τὴν ἐπίφασιν κατεπλάγησαν.
For the majority of them, still supposing him to be in weak health, were utterly struck with awe upon unexpectedly and suddenly beholding him robust in his appearance.
