M. Antonius auorum nostrorum temporibus clarissimus orator incesti reus agebatur. cuius in iudicio accusatores seruum in quaestionem perseuerantissime postulabant, quod ab eo, cum ad stuprum irent, lanternam praelatam contenderent. erat autem is etiam tum inberbis et stabat in corona uidebatque rem ad suos cruciatus pertinere, nec tamen eos fugitauit. ille uero, ut domum quoque uentum est, Antonium hoc nomine uehementius confusum et sollicitum ultro est hortatus ut se iudicibus torquendum traderet, adfirmans nullum ore suo uerbum exiturum, quo causa eius laederetur, ac promissi fidem mira patientia praestitit: plurimis etenim laceratus uerberibus eculeoque inpositus, candentibus etiam lamminis ustus omnem uim accusationis custodita rei salute subuertit. argui fortuna merito potest, quod tam pium et tam fortem spiritum seruili nomine inclusit.
