§39.14.1peracto indicio advoluta rursus genibus preces easdem, ut se ablegaret, repetivit.
Having completed her disclosure, she again prostrated herself at Sulpicia's knees and repeated the same entreaties that she should send her away.
§39.14.2consul rogat socrum, ut aliquam partem aedium vacuam faceret, quo Hispala immigraret.
The consul asked his mother-in-law to make some part of her house vacant, so that Hispala might move into it.
cenaculum super aedes datum est, scalis ferentibus in publicum obseratis, aditu in aedes verso.
An upper room above the house was given to her; the stairs leading to the street were blocked up, and the entrance was turned toward the inside of the house.
§39.14.3res omnes Feceniae extemplo translatae et familia arcessita, et Aebutius migrare ad consulis clientem iussus.
All the property of Fecenia was immediately moved there and her household was summoned, and Aebutius was ordered to move to a client of the consul.
ita cum indices ambo in potestate essent, rem ad senatum Postumius defert, omnibus ordine expositis, quae delata primo, quae deinde ab se inquisita forent.
Thus, when both informants were in his power, Postumius laid the matter before the senate, explaining everything in order—what had been reported at first, and what had been investigated by him thereafter.
patres pavor ingens cepit, §39.14.4cum publico nomine, ne quid eae coniurationes coetusque nocturni fraudis occultae aut periculi importarent, tum privatim suorum cuiusque vicem, ne quis adfinis ei noxae esset.
A massive dread seized the senators, both on public grounds, lest these conspiracies and nocturnal meetings should bring some hidden fraud or danger, and on private grounds, for each of their own relatives, lest anyone should be connected with that guilt.
§39.14.5censuit autem senatus gratias consuli agendas, quod eam rem et cum singulari cura et sine ullo tumultu investigasset.
But the senate decreed that thanks should be given to the consul because he had investigated this matter both with singular care and without any tumult.
§39.14.6quaestionem deinde de Bacchanalibus sacrisque nocturnis extra ordinem consulibus mandant; indicibus Aebutio ac Feceniae ne fraudi ea res sit curare et alios indices praemiis invitare iubent;
They then entrusted an extraordinary inquiry concerning the Bacchic rites and nocturnal services to the consuls; they ordered them to take care that this matter should not be of detriment to the informants Aebutius and Fecenia, and to invite other informants with rewards.
§39.14.7sacerdotes eorum sacrorum, seu viri seu feminae essent, non Romae modo sed per omnia fora et conciliabula conquiri, ut in consulum potestate essent; edici praeterea in urbe Roma et per totam Italiam edicta mitti, §39.14.8ne quis, qui Bacchis initiatus esset, coisse aut convenisse sacrorum causa velit, neu quid talis rei divinae fecisse.
They ordered that the priests of those rites, whether they were men or women, should be sought out not only in Rome but through all the forums and meeting-places, so that they might be in the power of the consuls; furthermore, that an edict should be proclaimed in the city of Rome and edicts sent throughout all Italy, that no one who had been initiated into the Bacchic rites should wish to associate or meet for the sake of the rites, nor to perform any such religious ceremony.
ante omnia ut quaestio de iis habeatur, qui coierint coniuraverintve, quo stuprum flagitiumve inferretur.
Above all, that an inquiry should be held concerning those who had associated or conspired to commit debauchery or vice.
haec senatus decrevit.
These things the senate decreed.
§39.14.9consules aedilibus curulibus imperarunt, ut sacerdotes eius sacri omnes conquirerent, comprehensosque libero conclavi ad quaestionem servarent; aediles plebis viderent, ne qua sacra in operto fierent.
The consuls ordered the curule aediles to seek out all the priests of that rite, and to keep them arrested in a free confinement for inquiry; the plebeian aediles were to see to it that no rites were performed in secret.
§39.14.10triumviris capitalibus mandatum est, ut vigilias disponerent per urbem servarentque, ne qui nocturni coetus fierent, utque ab incendiis caveretur; adiutores triumviris quinqueviri uti cis Tiberim suae quisque regionis aedificiis praeessent.
The triumviri capitales were ordered to station watches throughout the city and to ensure that no nocturnal gatherings took place, and to guard against fires; as assistants to the triumviri, the quinqueviri were to have charge, each of his own district's buildings, on this side of the Tiber.
