The bonorum made it sound like Cicero.

Correct, it is Cicero. Finding the author is enough to win; however, if you like, you can use your last guess to try and find the work.

Was I only close for guessing the author or also for guessing the work?
Well, doesn't really matter ... I only really have 2 guesses for my remaining two guesses, anyway, one is from his orations, the other one from philosophy.
Was it from his speech in Antonium?

You were close because of the author.
The words are indeed from an oration, but not In Antonium; they're from In Catilinam:
Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? quem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia? Nihilne te nocturnum praesidium Palati, nihil urbis vigiliae, nihil timor populi, nihil concursus bonorum omnium, nihil hic munitissimus habendi senatus locus, nihil horum ora voltusque moverunt? Patere tua consilia non sentis, constrictam iam horum omnium scientia teneri coniurationem tuam non vides? Quid proxima, quid superiore nocte egeris, ubi fueris, quos convocaveris, quid consilii ceperis, quem nostrum ignorare arbitraris?

Well, it had to be something concerning the state I thought ... my next guess would have been de legibus :/ Well, close enough overall.
Here's one for you:
ἀποκεκυλισμένον τὸ σῶμα ἐν ἐσθῆτι ἀστραπτούσῃ ἐμφόβων τὸν ζῶντα τῶν νεκρῶν ἀπήγγειλαν ταῦτα πάντα

I don't know if it would be cheating to look up the words I don't know.
Is it from Revelation?

Or maybe rather from a Gospel.

I don't know if it would be cheating to look up the words I don't know. Is it from Revelation? No. I think looking them up in a dictionary would be ok, actually.

Or maybe rather from a Gospel. Yes. I could have given the words to you in Latin ... but well, it was written in Greek.

I can't tell which Gospel it's from. I could take a random guess, I suppose.

You don't recognise the story?

Post by Pacifica on Apr 8, 2023 17:37:31 GMT
Sounds like the empty tomb story.

Or maybe when Jesus himself appears after his resurrection.

Do you want more cues?

Why not.
