[186]
Now we will return to the accounts of the society of money received and paid, which
they could not possibly remove honestly, and to your friend Carpinatius. We
inspected at Syracuse accounts of the
company made up by Carpinatius, which showed by many items that many of the men who
had paid money to Verres, had borrowed it of Carpinatius. That will be clearer than
daylight to you, O judges, when I produce the very men who paid the money; for you
will see that the times at which, as they were in danger, they bought themselves
off, agree with the records of the company not only as to the years, but even as to
the months.
