Original Text :	οὐδὲν οὖν ἐπενόει μικρὸν ὁ Λέντλος ἢ ἄσημον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐδέδοκτο τήν βουλὴν ἅπασαν ἀναιρεῖν τῶν τ᾽ ἄλλων πολιτῶν ὅσους δύναιτο, τήν πόλιν δ᾽ αὐτὴν καταπιμπράναι
Translation :	Accordingly, it was no trifling or insignificant plan which Lentulus was cherishing, nay, it was decided to kill all the senators and as many of the other citizens as they could, to burn down the city itself
