deinde apud Claudium
Then, in the presence of Claudius
inquit ... uxori Scriboniani
she said to the wife of Scribonianus
cum illa profiteretur indicium
when she (the wife) was volunteering evidence against her husband's associates
'egone te audiam
Am I to listen to you (sg.)
cuius in gremio Scribonianus occisus est
in whose lap Scribonianus died
et vivis?
and you (sg.) lived / live?
ex quo manifestum est
From this it was clear that
ei consilium pulcherrimae mortis
her plan of a very beautiful death
non subitum fuisse
was not impulsive
quin etiam, cum Thrasea gener eius deprecaretur
Indeed, when Thrasea Paetus, her son-in-law, was begging her
ne mori pergeret
not to carry out her resolve to die
interque alia dixisset
and amongst other things he had said
'vis ergo filiam tuam,'
Therefore do you (sg.) want your daughter
mori mecum
to die with me
si mihi pereundum fuerit?
if I had to die?
respondit: 'si ... vixerit
She replied: "If she shall have lived
tam diu tantaque concordia tecum
for so long a time and with such great harmony with you (sg.)
quam ego cum Paeto, volo.'
as I (did) with Paetus, I (would) want it.
hoc responso
With this response
auxerat ... curam suorum
she had increased the concern of her household
diligentius custodiebatur
she began to be guarded more carefully
hoc sensit
she noticed this
et ... inquit
and she said
'nihil agitis
You (pl.) will achieve nothing
potestis enim efficere
For you (pl.) are able to effect
ut male moriar
that I die badly
ut non moriar
that I do not die
non potestis (efficere).'
you (pl.) are not able to effect.
dum haec dicit
While she said these things
exsiluit e sede
she leapt up from her seat
-que ... caput ... impegit
and she dashed her head
adverso(que) muro
against the opposite wall
ingenti impetu
with a huge force
et decidit.
and she fell down.
focilata, ... inquit
Having been revived, she said
'dixeram vobis me inventuram esse
I had said to you (pl.) that I would find
ad mortem viam
a way to death
quamlibet duram
no matter how harsh
si vos (viam) facilem negavissetis,.'
if you (pl.) denied an easy way to death.
vale.
Farewell.
