[MACER libro primo publicorum iudiciorum. ] §47.13.2.prConcussionis iudicium publicum non est: sed si ideo pecuniam quis accepit, quod crimen minatus sit, potest iudicium publicum esse ex senatus consultis, quibus poena legis Corneliae teneri iubentur, qui in accusationem innocentium coierint quiue ob accusandum uel non accusandum, denuntiandum uel non denuntiandum testimonium pecuniam acceperit.
[MACER, in the first book on Public Judgments.] The trial for extortion is not a public one; but if someone has accepted money on the ground that he threatened a criminal charge, it can be a public trial under the decrees of the senate, by which those who have conspired for the accusation of innocent persons, or who have accepted money for accusing or not accusing, or for giving or not giving testimony, are ordered to be liable to the penalty of the Cornelian law.
