- The source and cause of all the wars he took from this: holding nothing more fitting than to avenge his uncle and maintain the validity of his enactments, immediately on returning from Apollonia he resolved to take the unexpecting Brutus and Cassius by force as well as to resort to laws and prosecute them for murder in their absence, as they had fled the foreseen danger.
- Omnium bellōrum initium et causam hinc sūmpsit: nihil convenientius dūcēns quam necem avunculī vindicāre tuērīque ācta, cōnfestim ut Apollōniā rediit, Brūtum Cassiumque et vī necopīnantīs et, quia prōvīsum perīculum subterfūgerant, lēgibus adgredī reōsque caedis absentīs dēferre statuit.
