debilem praeturam futuram suam consule Milone; eum
porro summo consensu populi Romani consulem fieri videbat.
contulit se ad eius competitores, sed ita totam ut
petitionem ipse solus etiam invitis illis gubernaret, tota ut
comitia suis, ut dictitabat, umeris sustineret. convocabat

omne facinus paratissimus fortissimum virum, inimicissimum
suum, certissimum consulem, idque intellexit non solum
sermonibus, sed etiam suffragiis populi Romani saepe esse
declaratum, palam agere coepit et aperte dicere occidendum
Milonem.
