[79]
Were they not argued in court before Orbius? Were
they not reported to Orbius? Did not the deputies of Apollonia report to our senate in my
consulship all the demands which they had to make respecting the injuries which they had
received from this one man, Decianus?
“Oh, but you gave in an estimate of these farms also at the census.” I
say nothing of their being other people's property; I say nothing of their having been got
possession of by violence; I say nothing of the conviction by the Apollonidians that ensued; I
say nothing of the business having been repudiated by the people of Pergamus; I say nothing of
the fact that restitution of the whole was compelled by our magistrates; I say nothing of the
fact that neither by law, nor in fact, nor even by the right of occupation, did they belong to
you.
