[180]
But
perhaps you approved besides of the corn of the Centuripans, of the Agrigentines,
and of some others, and paid money to these nations. There may be some cities in
that number whose corn you were unwilling to object to. What then? Was all the money
that was owed for corn paid to these cities? Find me one—not one people,
but one cultivator. See, seek, look around, if perchance there is any single man in
that province in which you were governor for three years, who does not wish you to
be ruined. Produce me one, I say, out of all those cultivators who contributed money
even to raise a statue to you, who will say that everything that was due for corn
was paid. I pledge myself, O judges, that none will say so.
