In Reply to: Re: What Was That Line Julius said before he got stabed by brutus??? posted by Mars Ultor on August 24, 19103 at 16:59:56:

The language is Latin and is probably actually a translation of what Julius Caesar is reported to have said upon being murdered: roughly, it is translated as "And you also, Brutus?" and was directed toward a man he had pardoned after he had elected to fight against Julius Caesar.
It is more probable that JC's actual last words were in Greek: and were kai sou teknoi? which would or could be interpreted as meaning "And you also, my child?" However, the use of the term which could be translated as child was probably meant as a term of affection and not as some have tried to maintain that JC was actually the father of Brutus: however, JC's affair with Servilia would provide some grist for such a rumor.
