In truth, what measure except the death of Caesar could
possibly have been any relief to your indigent and insolvent condition? You
appear to be somewhat agitated. Have you any secret fear that you yourself may
appear to have had some connection with that crime? I will release you from all
apprehension; no one will ever believe it; it is not like you to deserve well of
the republic; the most illustrious men in the republic are the authors of that
exploit; I only say that you are glad it was done; I do not accuse you of having
done it.
I have replied to your heaviest accusations, I must now also reply to the rest of
them.
