[179]
mihi porro, ut ego non dicam, quis
omnium mortalium non intellegit quam longe progredi sit
necesse? potero silere, Hortensi, potero dissimulare, cum
tantum res publica vulnus acceperit ut expilatae provinciae1,
vexati socii, di immortales spoliati, cives Romani cruciati
et necati impune me actore esse videantur? potero ego
hoc2 onus tantum aut in hoc iudicio deponere aut tacitus3
sustinere? non agitanda res erit, non in medium proferenda,
non populi Romani fides imploranda, non omnes
qui tanto se scelere obstrinxerunt ut aut fidem suam corrumpi
paterentur aut iudicium corrumperent in discrimen
aut4 iudicium vocandi?
