But since by nature you are so
malevolent, I will never relieve you from that vexation and that anxiety. Roscius
managed his business well; he got a most fertile farm. What is that to you? Do you
settle your half of the matter anyhow you please. He then changes his plan of attack,
and endeavours to invent a story which he cannot prove. “You,” says
he, “arranged the whole matter, and not your share of it only.” The
whole cause then is brought to this point,—whether Roscius came to a
settlement with Flavius for his own share, or for the whole partnership.
