[72]
What then? Shall you be able to find any advocate, a man of such
ancient principles of duty as to despise our splendour and influence? Lucius Philippus
will be my advocate; in eloquence, in dignity, and in honour, the most flourishing man
in the states. Hortensius will speak for me; a man eminent for his genius, and nobility,
and reputation; and other most noble and powerful men will accompany me into court, the
number and appearance of whom may alarm not only Publius Quinctius, who is defending
himself on a capital charge, but even any one who is out of danger.
