[13]
If you,
his enemy, deny that this is the case, which he himself to whom the fact is most
injurious does not dare to deny, take care lest you seem to carry on your enmity in too
friendly a manner. In the second place, there are witnesses, the most illustrious men of
our state, all of whom it is not necessary that I should name, those who are present I
will appeal to; while, if I were speaking falsely, they are the men whom I should least
wish to be witnesses of my impudence. He, who is one of the assessors on this bid, Caius
Marcellus, knows it; he, whom I see here present, Cnaeus Lentulus Marcellinus, knows it;
on whose good faith and protection the Sicilians principally depend, because the whole
of that province is inalienably connected with the name of the Marcelli.
