Vos quoque, fratres, memoria complectar, quorum animus origine fuit nobilior, si quidem admodum humiles in Hispania nati pro parentium alimentis spiritum erogando specioso exitu vitae inclaruistis: duodecim enim milia nummum, quae post mortem vestram iis darentur, a Paciaecis pacti, ut eorum patris interfectorem Etpastum, gentis suae tyrannum, occideretis, nec ausi solum insigne facinus estis, sed etiam strenuo ac forti exitu clausistis: iisdem enim manibus Paciaecis ultionem, Etpasto poenam, genitoribus nutrimenta, vobis gloriosa fata peperistis.
You too, brethren, I shall embrace in memory. Your hearts were nobler than your origin, for you were very humbly born in Spain; but by sacrificing your breath to feed your parents you became famous through an impressive departure from life. You made a bargain with the Paciaeci to kill their fathers murderer Etpastus, tyrant of his nation, in return for twelve thousand sesterces, to be given to your parents after your deaths; and not only did you dare this noble deed but concluded it with a vigorous and brave ending. For with the same hands you procured revenge for the Paciaeci, punishment for Etpastus, food for your progenitors, and a glorious fate for yourselves.
