One thing is quite certain. No one will be so
unjust to Cluentius, as not to grant to me, if it be proved that that tribunal was bribed,
that it was bribed either by Habitus or by Oppianicus. If I prove that it was not bribed by
Habitus, I prove that it was by Oppianicus,—I clear Habitus. Wherefore, although I
have already established plainly enough that the one had no reason whatever for having
recourse to bribery, (and from this alone it follows that the bribery must have been committed
by Oppianicus,) still you shall have separate proofs of this particular point.
