Denen antwortete ich: Es ist der Römer Weise nicht, daß ein Mensch übergeben werde, ihn umzubringen, ehe denn der Verklagte seine Kläger gegenwärtig habe und Raum empfange, sich auf die Anklage zu verantworten.
A los cuales respondí: no ser costumbre de los Romanos dar alguno a la muerte antes que el que es acusado tenga presentes sus acusadores, y haya lugar de defenderse de la acusación.
Je leur ai répondu que ce n'est pas la coutume des Romains de livrer un homme avant que l'inculpé ait été mis en présence de ses accusateurs, et qu'il ait eu la faculté de se défendre sur les choses dont on l'accuse.
A’ quali risposi che non è l’usanza de’ Romani di donare alcuno, per farlo morire, avanti che l’accusato abbia gli accusatori in faccia e gli sia stato dato luogo di purgarsi dell’accusa.
Aos quais respondi não ser costume dos romanos entregar algum homem à morte, sem que o acusado tenha presentes os seus acusadores, e possa defender-se da acusação.
我回覆他們,無論甚麼人,被告還沒有和原告當面對質,沒有機會為所控告的事申辯,就先定他罪的,這不是 羅馬 人的規矩。
