[120]
Now, if the freedman of Cnaeus
Lentulus or of Lucius Gellius should convict any man of theft, he, being deprived of all his
credit, will never recover any portion of his honourable position in the city; but those men,
whom Lucius Gellius himself and Cnaeus Lentulus, the two censors, most illustrious citizens
and most wise men, have animadverted on, and, in their reasons for their sentences, have
imputed to them theft and peculation, have not only returned to the senate, but have been
acquitted of those very charges by judicial sentence.
