pater occisus nefarie, domus obsessa ab inimicis,
bona adempta, possessa1, direpta, fili vita infesta, saepe ferro atque
insidiis appetita. quid ab his tot maleficiis sceleris abesse videtur?
tamen haec aliis nefariis cumulant atque adaugent, crimen
incredibile confingunt, testis in hunc et accusatores huiusce pecunia
comparant; hanc condicionem misero ferunt ut optet2 utrum malit
cervices T. Roscio dare an insutus in culleum3 per summum dedecus
vitam amittere. patronos huic defuturos putaverunt; desunt; qui
libere dicat, qui cum fide defendat, id quod in hac causa satis est45 non
deest profecto, iudices.
