ἀξιώσει, Τῖτος Λάρκιος, ὃς δὶς ἀποδειχθεὶς ὕπατος δυναστείᾳ τῇ καλουμένῃ δικτατορίᾳ κράτιστα πάντων ἀνθρώπων χρησάμενος ἱερὰν καὶ σεβασμοῦ μεστὴν ἐποίησε νομισθῆναι τὴν ἐπίφθονον ἀρχήν. [3] ἐπιβαλλόμενος δὲ περὶ τοῦ δικαίου ποιεῖσθαι λόγους, καὶ τὰ μὲν τοῖς δανειστικοῖς ἐγκαλῶν ὡς ὠμὰ καὶ ἀπάνθρωπα διαπεπραγμένοις, τὰ δὲ τῶν πενήτων καθαπτόμενος ὡς οὐ δικαίως ἀξιούντων βίᾳ μᾶλλον ἀφεῖσθαι τῶν ὀφειλημάτων ἢ χάριτι, καὶ ὡς τὴν βουλὴν οὐκ ὀρθῶς [p. 384] δἰ ὀργῆς ἐχόντων ἐπὶ τῷ μηθενὸς τῶν μετρίων παρ᾽ [4] αὐτῆς τυγχάνειν, μᾶλλον ἢ οὐχὶ τοὺς αἰτίους: πειρώμενός τ᾽ ἀποφαίνειν βραχὺ μὲν ὑπάρχον τοῦ δήμου τὸ μὴ κατὰ γνώμην ἀδικοῦν, ὑπὸ δὲ μήκους ἀπορίας ἠναγκασμένον αἰτεῖσθαι τὴν ἄφεσιν, τὸ δὲ πλεῖον ἀκολασίᾳ καὶ ὕβρει καὶ τῷ καθ᾽ ἡδονὰς ζῆν ἐφεικὸς καὶ δἰ ἁρπαγῆς ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ὑπηρετεῖν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις
