Therefore, when I had demanded a very short time
to prosecute my inquiries in Sicily, he
found a man to ask for two days less to make investigations in Achaia; It is not certainly
known what Cicero refers to here. not with any real intention of doing the
same with his diligence and industry, that I have accomplished by my labour, and
daily and nightly investigations. For the Achaean inquisitor never even arrived at
Brundusium. I in fifty days so
traveled over the whole of Sicily that I
examined into the records and injuries of all the tribes and of all private
individuals, so that it was easily visible to every one, that he had been seeking
out a man not really for the purpose of bringing the defendant whom he accused to
trial, but merely to occupy the time which ought to belong to me.

But you interposed another accuser, who, when I
had only demanded a hundred and ten days to prosecute my inquiries in Sicily, demanded a hundred and eight for himself to
go for a similar purpose into Achaia. When
you had deprived me of the three months most suitable for conducting my cause, you
thought that I would give you up the remainder of the year, so that, when he had
employed the time allowed to me, you, O Hortensius, after the interruption of two
festivals, might make your reply forty days afterwards; and then, that the time
might be so spun out, that we might come from Marius Glabrio, the praetor, and from
the greater part of these judges, to another praetor, and other judges.

In Achaia, (I will omit all minor things,
to some of which perhaps some one else may some time or other have done something
like; I will mention nothing except what is unprecedented, nothing except what would
appear incredible, if it were alleged against any other criminal,) he demanded money
from a Sicyonian magistrate. Do not let this be considered a crime in Verres; others
have done the tame. When he could not give it, he punished him; a scandalous, but
still not an unheard-of act. Listen to the sort of punishment; you will ask, of what
race of men you are to think him a specimen. He ordered a fire to be made of green
and damp wood in a narrow place. There he left a free man, a noble in his own
country, an ally and friend of the Roman people, tortured with smoke, half dead.

After that, what statues, what paintings he
carried off from Achaia, I will not mention
at present. There is another part of my speech which I have reserved for speaking of
this covetousness of the man. You have heard that at Athens a great sum of money was taken out of the temple of Minerva.
This was mentioned in the trial of Cnaeus Dolabella. Mentioned? the amount too was
stated. Of this design you will find that Caius Verres was not only a partaker, but
was even the chief instigator.

Why should I speak of Marcus Marcellus, who took Syracuse, that most beautiful city? why of Lucius Scipio, who waged
war in Asia, and conquered Antiochus, a
most powerful monarch? why of Flaminius, who subdued Philip the king, and Macedonia? why of Lucius Paullus, who with his might
and valour conquered king Perses? why of Lucius Mummius, who overthrew that most
beautiful and elegant city Corinth,
full of all sorts of riches, and brought many cities of Achaia and Boeotia under the
empire and dominion of the Roman people?—their houses, though they were
rich in virtue and honour, were empty of statues and paintings. But we see the whole
city, the temples of the gods, and all parts of Italy, adorned with their gifts, and with memorials of them.

But the allies and foreign nations then
first abandoned the hope of saving any of their property and fortunes, because, as
it happened, there were at that time very many ambassadors from Asia and Achaia at Rome, who
worshipped in the forum the images of the gods which had been taken from their
temples. And so also, when they recognised the other statues and ornaments, they
wept, as they beheld the different pieces of their property in different place. And
from all those men we then used to hear discourses of this
sort:—“That it was impossible for any one to doubt of the ruin
of our allies and friends, when men saw in the forum of the Roman people, in which
formerly those men used to be accused and condemned who had done any injury to the
allies, those things now openly placed which had been wickedly seized and taken away

Here I do not expect
that he will deny that he has many statues, and countless paintings. But, as I
fancy, he is accustomed at times to say that he purchased these things which he
seized and stole; since indeed he was sent at the public expense, and with the title
of ambassador, into Achaia, Asia, and Pamphylia as a purchaser of statues and paintings.
