Certus equidem eram proque vero obtinebam, Maxime Claudi quique in consilio estis, Sicinium Aemilianum, senem notissimae temeritatis, accusationem mei prius apud te coeptam quam apud se cogitatam penuria criminum solis conviciis impleturum; quippe insimulari quivis innocens potest, revinci nisi nocens non potest.
I was convinced and considered it a certainty, Claudius Maximus and you who are present as his advisers, that Sicinius Aemilianus, an old man notoriously foolhardy, had launched his suit against me in your court before duly thinking it over with himself, and that for lack of any real charges he would fill his prosecution with insults and nothing more.
