M. Tullius Cicero, Against Verres (ed. C. D. Yonge), section 171 (search)
Originally this Carpinatius, before he had
become so intimate with Verres, had often written letters to the shareholders about
his unjust actions. But Canuleius, who had an agency at Syracuse, in the harbour, had also written
accounts to his shareholders of many of Verres's robberies, giving instances,
especially, concerning things which had been exported from Syracuse without paying the harbour dues. But
the same crbour, had also written
accounts to his shareholders of many of Verres's robberies, giving instances,
especially, concerning things which had been exported from Syracuse without paying the harbour dues. But
the same company was farming both the harbour dues and the taxes on pasture land.
And thus it happened that there were many things which we could state and produce
against Verres from the letters of that company.

By these exportations, of which
the list was read to you, he writes that the shareholders had lost sixty thousand
sesterces by the five per cent due on them as harbour
dues at Syracuse. In a few months,
therefore, as these little insignificant books show, things were stolen by the
praetor and exported from one single town of the value of twelve hundred thousand
sesterces. Think now, as the island is one which is
accessible by sea on all sides, what you can suppose was exported from other places?
from Agrigentum, from Lilybaeum, from Panormus, from Thermae, from Halesa, from Catina, from the other towns? And what from
Messana? the place which he thought safe
for his purpose above all others,—where he was always easy and comfortable
in his mind, because he had selected the Mamertines as men to whom he could

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.

However, be it so; the
case is evident; there was no one who did not say that he had heard this distinctly;
all the most respectable men were most undoubted witnesses of it; there was no one
in all Sicily who did not know that the tenths belonged to the praetor, no one who
had not heard Apronius frequently say so; moreover, there was a fine body of
settlers at Syracuse, many Roman
knights, men of the highest consideration, out of which number the judges must be
selected, who could not possibly decide in any other manner. Scandilius does not
cease to demand judges; then that innocent man, who was so eager to efface that
suspicion, and to remove it from himself, says that he will assign judges from his
own retinue.

You cannot by any means deny this, unless you are
determined to deny everything. The business was transacted openly, in a full
assembly, at Syracuse. The whole
province is the witness, because men are accustomed to flock together thither from
all parts at the sale or the tenths. And whether you confess this, or whether it be
proved against you, do you not see in what important and what evident acts you are
detected. First of all, it is proved that that business and that booty was yours.
For unless it was, why did you prefer that Acronius (who every one was saying was
only managing your affairs in the matter of the tenths as your agent) should get the
tenths of the Leontine district rather than Quintus Minucius? Secondly, that an
enormous and immense profit was made by you. For if you would not have been
