Why are you sitting there, O Verres? What are you waiting for? Why do you say that
you are hemmed in and overwhelmed by the cities of Centuripa, of Catina, of Halesa, of Tyndaris, of Enna, of Agyrium, and by all
the other cities of Sicily? Your second
country, as you used to call it, Messana
herself attacks you; your own Messana I
say; the assistant in your crimes, the witness of your lusts, the receiver of your
booty and your thefts. For the most honourable man of that city is present, a deputy
sent from his home on account of this very trial, the chief actor in the panegyric
on you; who praises you by the public order of his city, for so he has been charged
and commanded to do. Although you recollect, O judges, what he answered when he was
asked about the ship; that it had been built by public labour, at the pub

But is this the only monument of Africanus which you have violated? What! did you
take away from the people of Tyndaris
an image of Mercury most beautifully made, and placed there by the beneficence of
the same Scipio? And how? O ye immortal gods! How audaciously, how infamously, how
shamelessly did you do so! You have lately, judges, heard the deputies from
Tyndaris, most honourable men, and
Tyndaris, most honourable men, and
the chief men of that city, say that the Mercury, which in their sacred
anniversaries was worshipped among them with the extremest religious reverence,
which Publius Africanus, after he had taken Carthage, had given to the Tyndaritans, not only as a monument of his
victory, but as a memorial and evidence of their loyalty to and alliance with the
Roman people, had been taken away by the violence, and wickedness, and arbitrar

And in the first place, O judges, that man said that the
people of Tyndaris had sold this
statue to Caius Marcellus Aeserninus, who is here present. And he hoped that Caius
Marcellus himself would assert thus much for his sake though it never seemed to me
to be very likely that a young man born in that rank, the patron of Sicily, would lend his name to that fellow to enable
him to transfer his guilt to another. But still I made such provision, and took such
precaution against every possible bearing of the case, that if ally one had been
found who was ever so anxious to take the guilt and crime of Verres upon himself,
still he would not have taken anything by his motion, for I brought down to court
such witnesses, and I had with me such written documents, that it could not have
been possible to have entertained a doubt about tha

When the thought of that unhappy Tyndaritan, and of that Segestan, comes across
me, then I consider at the same time the rights of the cities, and their duties.
Those cities which Publius Africanus thought fit to be adorned with the spoils of
the enemy, those Caius Verres has stripped, not only of those ornaments, but even of
their noblest citizens, by the most abominable wickedness. See what the people of
Tyndaris will willingly state.
“We were not among the seventeen tribes of Sicily. We, in all the Punic and Sicilian wars, always adhered to the
friendship and alliance of the Roman people; all possible aid in war, all attention
and service in peace, has been at all times rendered by us to the Roman
people.” Much, however, did their rights avail them, under that man's
authority and governme
