“9. Κάσσιος δὲ Κλήμης βουλευτὴς παρ᾽ αὐτῷ τῷ Σεουήρῳ κρινόμενος οὐκ ἀπεκρύψατο τὴν ἀλήθειαν, ἀλλ᾽ ὧδέ 1 πως ἐπαρρησιάσατο. ‘ἐγώ’ ἔφη ‘οὔτε σὲ οὔτε Νίγρον ἠπιστάμην, καταληφθεὶς 2 δὲ δὴ 3 ἐν [p. 182] τῇ ἐκείνου μερίδι τὸ παρὸν ἀναγκαίως ἐθεράπευσα, οὐχ ὡς σοὶ πολεμήσων ἀλλ᾽ ὡς Ἰουλιανὸν καταλύσων. [2] οὔτ᾽ οὖν ἐν τούτῳ τι ἠδίκησα, τὰ αὐτά σοι κατ᾽ ἀρχὰς σπουδάσας, οὔθ᾽ ὅτι μὴ πρὸς σὲ ὕστερον, ἐγκαταλιπὼν ὃν ἅπαξ 4 ὑπὸ τοῦ δαιμονίου ἔλαχον, 5 μετέστην: οὐδὲ γὰρ οὐδὲ σὺ τῶν παρακαθημένων σοι καὶ συνδικαζόντων τούτων οὐδένα ἂν ἠθέλησας προδόντα σε πρὸς ἐκεῖνον [3] αὐτομολῆσαι. ἐξέταζε οὖν μὴ τὰ σώματα ἡμῶν μηδὲ τὰ ὀνόματα, ἀλλ᾽ αὐτὰ τὰ πράγματα. πᾶν γὰρ ὅ τι ἂν ἡμῶν καταγνῷς, τοῦτο καὶ σεαυτοῦ καὶ τῶν σῶν ἑταίρων καταψηφιῇ: καὶ γὰρ εἰ τὰ μάλιστα μήτε δίκῃ μήτ᾽ ἀποφάσει τινὶ ἁλώσῃ, ἀλλὰ τῇ παρὰ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις φήμῃ, ἧς ἐς ἀΐδιον μνήμη καταλελείψεται, 6 δόξεις † ταῦτα ἐφ᾽ οἷς [4] συνέβη 7 † ἑτέροις ἐγκαλεῖν.’ τοῦτον μὲν οὖν ὁ Σεουῆρος τῆς παρρησίας θαυμάσας, τὴν ἡμίσειαν αὐτῷ τῆς οὐσίας ἔχειν συνεχώρησεν.” Xiph. 299, 9-25 R. St. “ ὅτι συχνοὶ ὡς καὶ τὰ τοῦ Νίγρου φρονήσαντες, καὶ τῶν οὔτ᾽ ἰδόντων ποτὲ αὐτὸν οὔτε συναραμένων οἱ, ἐπηρεάσθησαν.” Exc. Val. 343 (p. 737). “ ”
