Now that class is back in session, I don't expect to get a lot of Caesar and Thucydides translated. No, it's back to actual class texts for me, which this semester means Cicero and Euripides. For the sake of honesty, I'm going to be putting up my pre-class translations, not the corrected stuff after I've gone through the translation in class with the prof and so forth.

(Weirdly, my Latin class is huge. Twenty people in a third-year Latin course! The prof seemed a bit alarmed by it. My Greek class is a much more standard twelve or so.)

In any case. Have some mildly awkward Cicero.

In which Cicero insists that this whole trial is a stupid idea )

ETA: Class has now clarified some details of the second paragraph. Atrinus is the primary prosecutor; he's bringing charges against Caelius, who has 1) already brought charges against Bestia, the father of Atrinus, and 2) intends to bring charges against Bestia again in the future. The pronouns weren't real clear there.
