et Menelaum quidem universæ malitiæ reum criminibus absolvit: miseros autem qui, etiamsi apud Scythas causam dixissent, innocentes judicarentur, hos morte damnavit.
So Menelaus, who was guilty of all the evil, was acquitted by him of the accusations: and those poor men, who, if they had pleaded their cause even before Scythians, should have been judged innocent, were condemned to death.
Et Menelao quidem universa de malitia reo crimines absolve: misero autem qui, etiamsi apud Scythas dic causa, innocente iudica, hoc morte damna.
