perturbetur de, is alarmed for. novi judici, i.e. the special tribunal established by vote of the people to try all cases arising out of the brawl between Milo and Clodius. On this occasion the court was surrounded, not by the usual throng of spectators, but by an armed guard (see Introd., p. 170 of text), — hence nova forma. requirunt, miss, seek in vain.
