Canonical reference 12.10

perseus-cicero-philippics-lat
et ut omittam reliquas partis Galliae - nam sunt omnes pares - Patavini alios excluserunt, alios eiecerunt missos ab Antonio, pecunia, militibus, et, quod maxime deerat, armis nostros duces adiuverunt. fecerunt idem reliqui qui quondam in eadem causa erant et propter multorum annorum iniurias alienati a senatu putabantur: quos minime mirum est communicata cum eis re publica fidelis esse , qui etiam expertes eius fidem suam semper praestiterunt. his igitur omnibus victoriam sperantibus pacis nomen adferemus, id est desperationem victoriae?

To omit the remaining parts of Gaul, for all are alike, the people of Patavium barred some men sent by Antonius and expelled others, and assisted our commanders with money, soldiers, and what they lacked most, weapons. The others did the same, though they had once stood on the same side as Antonius and were thought estranged from the Senate by the wrongs of many years. It is hardly surprising that, once admitted to partnership in the republic, they should be faithful to it, since even while excluded from it they always kept their faith. Shall we bring all these people, who hope for victory, the name of peace, which means despair of victory?

Sans parler des autres parties de la Gaule, car toutes se valent, les habitants de Patavium ont fermé leurs portes à certains envoyés d’Antonius et chassé les autres. Ils ont aidé nos chefs par de l’argent, des soldats et, ce qui manquait le plus, des armes. Les autres peuples qui se trouvaient autrefois dans la même cause ont agi de même, bien qu’on les crût éloignés du Sénat par les injustices de nombreuses années. Il n’est nullement étonnant que, maintenant admis à partager la République, ils lui soient fidèles, eux qui lui gardèrent toujours leur foi même lorsqu’ils en étaient exclus. Apporterons-nous donc à tous ces hommes qui espèrent la victoire le nom de la paix, c’est-à-dire le désespoir de vaincre ?
