When all the women and children had been sent out of the town, Caesar
was unwilling to receive them into his camp, because his supply of grain was small.
Although they begged him with tears to save them, he determined to employ
the plan which he had used the year before. Therefore he forced them to return
to Alesia that he might capture the town the more quickly.

Translate the following passage:


[The Condemnation of Socrates.]


Imitatus est homo Romanus et consularis veterem illum Socratem, qui,
cum omnium sapientissimus esset sanctissimeque vixisset, ita in iudicio capitis
pro se ipse dixit, ut non supplex aut reus,' sed magister aut dominus videretur
esse iludicum. Quin etiam, cum ei scriptam orationem disertissimus? orator
Lysias attulisset, quam, si ei videretur, edisceret,3 ut ea pro se in iudicio 5
uteretur, non invitus legit et commode scriptam esse dixit; ‘sed,’ inquit, ‘ut,
si mihi calceos* Sicyonios attulisses, non uterer, quamvis essent habiles et
apti ad pedem, quia non essent viriles’: sic illam orationem disertam sibi et
oratoriam videri, fortem et virilem non videri. Ergo ille quoque damnatus
est neque solum primis sententiis, quibus tantumS statuebant iudices, utrum τὸ
damnarent an absolverent, sed etiam illis, quas iterum legibus ferre debebant.
Erat enim Athenis reo damnato, si fraus capitalis non esset, quasi poenae
aestimatio; et sententia cum iudicibus daretur, interrogabatur reus, quam
quasi aestimationem commeruisse se maxime confiteretur.—Cic. De orat. 1. 54
