APLP - #2 Turiae

Amplissima subsidia fugae meae praestitisti.

You provided very abundantly help for my flight.

Ornamentis vitam meam instruxisti, cum omne aurum margaritaque corporis tuo detracta tradidisti mihi - et subindex familia, nummis, fructibus, callide, deceptis adversarirorum custodibus, absentiam meam locupletasti.

You provided me with the things I needed in my life, when you handed over to me all the gold and jewelery drawn from your body - and you enriched me in my absence repeatedly with slaves, money, and provisions, and with the guards of our adversaries deceived slyly.

Pro vita rogabas absentia - quod ut conarere virtus tua the hortabatur.

You were asking for my life while I was absent - because your bravery encouraged you to try.

Verbis tuis victa me munibat Clementina eorum, contra quos ea parabas.

Conquered by their words, their mercy defended me against those whom you were preparing these words .

Semper tamen vox tua est firmitate animi emissa.

Nevertheless, your voice was always sent forth with the strength of your mind.

Interea agmen ex repertis hominibus a Milone, curious Domus emptione potitus eram cum esset exul, belli civilis occasionibus irrupturum et direpturum prospere reiecisti et defendisti domum nostram.

Meanwhile, you defended our home and rejected favorably a procession from men driven by Milo, whose home I had bought with purchase while he as exiled, with the opportunity of the civil war he was going to break into and tear asunder.
