Quinctius has
looked round on all sides, has encountered every danger. He was not only unable to find
a praetor from whom he could obtain a trial, much less one from whom he could obtain one
on his own terms, but he could not even move the friends of Sextus Naevius, at whose
feet he often lay, and that for a long time, entreating them by the immortal Gods either
to contest the point with him according to law, or at least, if they must do him
injustice, to do it without ignominy.
