Shall that villager from near Tmolus,—a man not only a stranger to
us, but not even known among his own neighbours,—teach you what sort of a man Lucius
Flaccus is, whom you yourselves have known to be most modest as a youth, whom our most
extensive provinces have found to be a most conscientious man and whom our armies know by
experience to be a thoroughly brave soldier and vigilant general, and of a lieutenant and
quaestor most moderate; whom you yourselves, being witnesses on the spot of his conduct, have
judged to be a thoroughly wise and consistent senator, a most upright praetor, and a citizen
wholly devoted to the republic.
