The judges you fear

The George Long translation of 1862:

Penetrate inwards into men's leading principles, and thou wilt see what judges thou art afraid of, and what kind of judges they are of themselves.  Marcus Aurelius.  Meditations.  Book 9.

Chrystal's 2017 rendering based on the Foulis translation of 1742:

Penetrate the souls of men, and you will see what judges you fear, and how they sit in judgment on themselves. Marcus Aurelius.  Meditations.  Book 9.
