There were at that time a great many whom Sylla had made use of as his agents in the proscription, and to whom he had for their service in putting men to death, given twelve thousand drachmas apiece. These men everybody hated as wicked and polluted wretches, but nobody durst be revenged upon them. Cato called everyone to account, as wrongfully possessed of the public money, and exacted it of them, and at the same time sharply reproved them for their unlawful and impious actions. After these proceedings, they were presently accused of murder, and being already in a manner prejudged as guilty, they were easily found so, and accordingly suffered; at which the whole people rejoiced, and thought themselves now to see the old tyranny finally abolished, and Sylla himself, so to say, brought to punishment.

白话

苏拉曾用许多人做公敌宣告的代理人,每人给一万二千德拉克马。众人憎恨却不敢报复。加图追究他们非法占有公款,追缴款项并斥责其不法行为。随后这些人被控谋杀,因已有预判,轻易定罪处死。民众欢欣,认为旧暴政终被废除,苏拉也仿佛受到惩罚。

上下文

普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》中《小加图传》片段,记述加图打击苏拉余党、恢复正义的行动。

今日一问

面对历史遗留的不公,你是否愿意像加图一样依法追究,而非默许纵容?
