and that you may not imagine that the man
wished to heap up such a mass of figures without any reason, just see at what rate
he valued you, and the opinion of the Roman people, and the laws, and the courts of
justice, and the Sicilian witnesses and traders. After he had collected such a vast
number of figures that he had not left one single figure to anybody, he established
an immense shop in the palace at Syracuse; he openly orders all the manufacturers, and carvers, and
goldsmiths to be summoned—and he himself had many in his own employ; he
collects a great multitude of men; he kept them employed uninterruptedly for eight

For you know that the kings of Syria, the boyish sons of King Antiochus, have lately been at
Rome. And they came not on account of
the kingdom of Syria; for that they had
obtained possession of without dispute, as they had received it from their father
and their ancestors; but they thought that the kingdom of Egypt belonged to them and to Selene their mother.
When they, being hindered by the critical state of the republic at that time, were
not able to obtain the discussion of the subject as they wished before the senate,
they departed for Syria, their paternal
kingdom. One of them—the one whose name is Antiochus—wished to
make his journey through Sicily. And so,
while Verres was praetor, he came to Syracuse
