But if he banishes himself, and takes with him all his friends, and collects at one point all the ruined men from every quarter, then not only will this full-grown plague of the republic be extinguished and eradicated, but also the root and seed of all future evils.
This is a good point. If he were killed then all his conspirators would live and still be in the city, but if he was banished and his friends as well they would be gone ad the issue at hand would be finished.
