Pronunciation

- Nimium diū tē imperātōrem tua illa Mānliāna castra dēsīderant.
- For too long now that “Manlian” camp of yours has been longing for you as its leader.
(The plural desiderant agrees with the plural subject castra, understood here as singular. Cicero is using the dramatic device of personification to taunt Catiline, whose supporter Gaius Manlius commanded a rebel camp at Faesulae in Etruria.)
