etsi, Quirites, non est meae consuetudinis initio dicendi
rationem reddere qua de causa quemque defendam, propterea
quod cum omnibus civibus in eorum periculis
semper satis iustam mihi causam necessitudinis esse duxi,
tamen in hac defensione capitis, famae fortunarumque
omnium C. Rabiri proponenda ratio videtur esse offici
mei, propterea quod, quae iustissima mihi causa ad hunc
defendendum esse visa est, eadem vobis ad absolvendum
debet videri.
