As he spoke these words, tears at the same time choked his breath and voice.
§40.16.2Philippus summotis iis paulisper collocutus cum amicis pronuntiavit, non verbis se nec unius horae disceptatione causam eorum diiudicaturum, sed inquirendo in utriusque vitam ac mores, et dicta factaque in magnis parvisque rebus observando, §40.16.3ut omnibus appareret noctis proximae crimen facile revictum, suspectam nimiam cum Romanis Demetrii gratiam esse.
Philip, having removed them and conversed for a little while with his friends, declared that he would decide their case not by words nor by a debate of a single hour, but by inquiring into the life and manners of each, and by observing their words and deeds in great and small matters, so that it might appear to all that while the charge of the previous night was easily refuted, Demetrius' excessive favor with the Romans was suspect.
haec maxime vivo Philippo velut semina iacta sunt Macedonici belli, quod cum Perseo gerendum erat.
These, especially during Philip's lifetime, were sown as the seeds, as it were, of the Macedonian war which was to be waged with Perseus.

Marcellus, having ordered the Ligurians to wait in the same place, consulted the senate by letter.
§40.16.6senatus rescribere M. Ogulnium praetorem Marcello iussit verius fuisse consules, quorum provincia esset, quam se, quid e re publica esset, decernere; tum quoque non placere nisi per deditionem Ligures recipi, et receptis arma adimi atque eos ad consules mitti senatum aequum censere.
The senate ordered the praetor Marcus Ogulnius to write back to Marcellus that it would have been more proper for the consuls, whose province it was, rather than himself, to decide what was for the good of the republic; and that even now it was not their pleasure that the Ligurians should be received except upon surrender, and that the senate judged it right that their arms be taken from those who were received, and that they be sent to the consuls.
praetores eodem tempore, §40.16.7P. Manlius in ulteriorem Hispaniam, quam et priore praetura provinciam obtinuerat, Q. Fulvius Flaccus in citeriorem pervenit, exercitumque ab A. Terentio accepit: nam ulterior morte P. Sempronii proconsulis sine imperio fuerat.
At the same time, the praetors, Publius Manlius arrived in Farther Spain, which province he had also held during his previous praetorship, and Quintus Fulvius Flaccus in Hither Spain, and received the army from Aulus Terentius; for Farther Spain, owing to the death of the proconsul Publius Sempronius, had been without a commander.

vicit perseverantia Fulvius, quod nulla vi abstrahi ab obsidione potuit: Celtiberi fessi proeliis variis abscesserunt.
Fulvius conquered through perseverance, because he could be drawn away from the siege by no force; the Celtiberians, exhausted by various battles, departed.
§40.16.9urbs amoto auxilio eorum intra paucos dies capta et direpta est: praedam militibus praetor concessit.
The city, their assistance being removed, was captured and plundered within a few days; the praetor granted the booty to the soldiers.
