[44]
primum cur de populi Romani
hereditate xviri iudicent, cum vos volueritis de privatis
hereditatibus cviros iudicare? deinde quis aget causam
populi Romani? ubi res ista agetur? qui sunt isti xviri,
quos prospiciamus regnum Alexandreae Ptolomaeo gratis
adiudicaturos? quod si Alexandrea petebatur, cur non
eosdem cursus hoc tempore quos L. Cotta L. Torquato
consulibus cucurrerunt? cur non aperte ut antea, cur non
item ut tum, derecto et palam regionem illam petiverunt?
an qui etesiis, qui per cursum rectum regnum tenere non
potuerunt, nunc caecis tenebris et caligine se Alexandream
perventuros arbitrati sunt?
