Did you dare to take away out of Enna the statue of Ceres?
Did you attempt at Enna to wrench Victory
out of the hand of Ceres? to tear one
goddess from the other?—nothing of which those men dared to violate, or
even to touch, whose qualities were all more akin to wickedness than to religion.
For while Publius Popillius and Publius Rupilius were consuls, slaves, runaway
slaves, and barbarians, and eneEnna to wrench Victory

For while Publius Popillius and Publius Rupilius were consuls, slaves, runaway
slaves, and barbarians, and enemies, were in possession of that place; but yet the
slaves ware not so much slaves to their own masters, as you are to your passions;
nor did the runaways flee from their masters as far as you flee from all laws and

you are to the immortal gods. How, t

You heard Theodorus and Numinius and Nicasio, deputies from Enna, say, in the name of their state, that they had
this commission from their fellow-citizens, to go to Verres, and to demand from him
the restoration of the statues of Ceres and
of Victory. And if they obtained it then they were to adhere to the ancient customs
of the state of Enna, not to give any

their ancestors. But if he did not restore them, then they were to go before the
tribunal, to inform the judges of the injuries they had received, but, far above all
things, to complain of the insults to their religion. And, in the name of the

You, again and again I
implore and appeal to, most holy goddesses, who dwell around those lakes and groves
of Enna, and who preside over all
Sicily, which is entrusted to me to be
defended; you whose invention and gift of corn, which you have distributed over the
whole earth, inspires all nations and all races of men with reverence for your
divine power;—And all the other gods, and all the goddesses, do I implore
and entreat, against whose temples and religious worship that man, inspired by some
wicked frenzy and audacity, has always waged a sacrilegious and impious war, that,
if in dealing with this criminal and this cause my counsels have always tended to
the safety of the allies, the dignity of the Roman people, and the maintenance of my
own character for good faith; if all my cares, and vigilance, and thou
