οὐκ ἐξὸν αἱρεθέντες. καὶ ἐφῆκε μὲν ὁ Ῥαβίριος, πάντως δʼ ἂν καὶ παρὰ τῷ δήμῳ ἑάλω, εἰ μὴ ὁ Μέτελλος ὁ Κέλερ οἰωνιστής τε ὢν καὶ στρατηγῶν ἐνεπόδισεν· ἐπειδὴ γὰρ οὔτε ἄλλως ἐπείθοντό οἱ, οὔθʼ ὅτι παρὰ τὰ νενομισμένα ἡ κρίσις ἐγεγόνει ἐνεθυμοῦντο, ἀνέδραμεν ἐς τὸ Ἰανίκουλον πρὶν καὶ ὁτιοῦν σφας ψηφίσασθαι, καὶ τὸ σημεῖον τὸ στρατιωτικὸν κατέσπασεν, ὥστε μηδὲν ἔτʼ αὐτοῖς ἐξεῖναι διαγνῶναι.
