Audistis ob ius dicendum
Q. Varium dicere procuratores suos isti centum triginta1
milia nummum dedisse, meministis Q. Vari2 testimonium,
remque hanc totam C. Sacerdotis, hominis ornatissimi,
testimonio comprobari, scitis Cn. Sertium, M. Modium,
equites Romanos, sescentos praeterea civis Romanos
multosque Siculos dixisse se3 isti pecuniam ob ius dicendum
dedisse. de quo crimine quid ego disputem, cum id4 totum
positum sit in testibus? quid porro argumenter, qua de re
dubitare nemo possit? an hoc dubitabit quisquam omnium,
quin is venalem in Sicilia iuris dictionem habuerit qui
Romae totum edictum atque omnia decreta vendiderit?
et quin is ab Siculis ob decreta interponenda pecunias
ceperit, qui M. Octavium Ligurem pecuniam ob ius
dicendum poposcerit?
