Although that man may
say that he bought these things, as he is accustomed to say, yet, believe me in
this, O judges,—no city in all Asia or in all Greece has
ever sold one statue, one picture, or one decoration of the city, of its own free
will to anybody. Unless, perchance, you suppose that, after strict judicial
decisions had ceased to take place at Rome, the Greeks then began to sell these things, which they not only
did not sell when there were courts of justice open, but which they even used to buy
up; or unless you think that Lucius Crassus, Quintus Scaevola, Caius Claudius, most,
powerful men, whose most splendid aedileships we have seen had no dealings in those
sort of matters with the Greeks, but that those men had such dealings who became
aediles after the destruction of the courts of justice

That Latona, after a long wandering and persecution, pregnant, and now
near bringing forth, when her time was come, fled to Delos, and there brought forth Apollo and Diana; from which belief of
men that island is considered sacred to those gods; and such is and always has been
the influence of that religious belief, that not even the Persians, when they waged
war on all Greece, on gods and men, and
when they had put in with a fleet of a thousand ships at Delos, attempted to violate, or even to touch
anything. Did you, O most wicked, O most insane of men, attempt to plunder this
temple? Was any covetousness of such power as to extinguish such solemn religious
belief? And if you did not think of this at that time, do you not recollect even now
that there is no evil so great as not to have been long since due to you for your
wicke

There were many statues
of brass; among them a statue of Himera herself, of marvellous beauty, made in the
shape and dress of a woman, after the name of the town and of the river. There was
also a statue of the poet Stesichorus, aged, stooping,—made, as men think,
with the most exceeding skill,—who was, indeed, a citizen of Himera, but
who both was and is in the highest renown and estimation over all Greece for his genius. These things he coveted to a
degree of madness. There is also, which I had almost passed over, a certain she-goat
made, as even we who are skilled in these matters can judge, with wonderful skill
and beauty. These, and other works of art, Scipio had not thrown away like a fool,
in order that an intelligent man like Verres might have an opportunity of carrying
them away, but he had restored them to the people
