Hi, sorry to bother you all again,
In terms of this passage; my commentary (Dyck) says that 'C. outlines two alternative paths for Catiline, he can either go into exile with invidia accruing to C. as a result, or he can join Manlius and thus justify C.'s couse of action"
What is invidia? I have envy in my translation. But why would the senators be envious? Because Cicero was right?
Quam ob rem, ut saepe iam dixi, proficiscere ac, si mihi inimico, ut praedicas, tuo conflare vis invidiam, recta perge in exilium; vix feram sermones hominum, si id feceris, vix molem istius invidiae, si in exilium iussu consulis ieris, sustinebo. Sin autem servire meae laudi et gloriae mavis, egredere cum inportuna sceleratorum manu, confer te ad Manlium, concita perditos cives, secerne te a bonis, infer patriae bellum, exsulta impio latrocinio, ut a me non eiectus ad alienos, sed invitatus ad tuos isse videaris.
Thanks
