Reading Exercise/Test Exercise:
After that day, a certain Lucius Tarquinius was led to the senate, whom, they said, had been dragged back from his journey as he was setting out for Catilina. When this man said that he would give information about the conspiracy if a pledge of immunity was given to him, told the senate, after the consul had ordered him to declare what he knew, almost the same that Volturcius (had said) about the prepared fires, about the murder of decent (citizens), about the route of the enemies. In addition, (he said) that he had been sent in order to report to Catilina that Lentulus and Cethegus and the others among the conspiracy who had been apprehended should not frighten him, and that he should by that much the more [i.e., even more] hurry to advance toward the city in order to restore the courage of the rest and so that those men [Lentulus, etc.] could be more easily rescued from danger. (Sallust, Catiline, 48.3-4)
