Sostratus,
and Numenius, and Nymphodorus, of the same city, three brothers of kindred
sentiments, when they had fled from their lands because more corn was demanded of
them than their lands had produced, were treated thus,—Apronius collected
a band of men, came into their allotments, took away all their tools, carried off
their slaves, and drove off their live stock. Afterwards, when Nymphodorus came to
Aetna to him, and begged to have his
property restored to him, he ordered the man to be seized and hung up on a wild
olive, a tree which is the forum there; and an ally and friend of the Roman people,
a settler and cultivator of your domain, hung suspended from a tree in a city of our
allies, and in the very forum, for as long a period as Apronius chose

For why, O judges, should I speak of Quintus Lollius, a Roman knight of tried
probity and honour? (the matter which I am going to mention is clear, notorious, and
undoubted throughout all Sicily;)—who, as he was a cultivator of the domain in the
district of Aetna, and as his farm belonged
to Apronius's district as well as the rest, relying on the ancient authority and
influence of the equestrian order, declared that he would not pay the collectors
more than was due from him to them. His words are reported to Apronius. He laughed,
and marveled that Lollius had heard nothing of Matrinius or of his other actions. He
sends his slaves of Venus to the man. Remark this also, that a collector had
officers appointed to attend him by the praetor; and see if this is a slight
argument that he abused the name of the collector

I have reserved the territories of two cities, O judges, to speak of last, the best
and noblest of all, the territory of Aetna
and that of Leontini: I will say nothing of the gains made out of these districts in
his three years; I will select one year in order that I more easily may be able to
explain what I have settled to mention. I will take the third year, because it is
both the most recent, and bsettled to mention. I will take the third year, because it is
both the most recent, and because it has been managed by him in such a way that,
since he knew that he was certainly going to depart, he evidently did not care if he
left behind him not one cultivator of the soil in all Sicily. We will speak of the tenths of the territory of Aetna and Leontini. Give heed, O judges, carefully.
The lands are fertile; it is the third year;

Apronius is the farmer. I will speak a little of the people of Aetna; for they themselves at the former pleading
spoke in the name of their city. You recollect that Artemidorus of Aetna, the chief of that deputation, said, in the
name of his city, that Apronius had come to Aetna withAetna, the chief of that deputation, said, in the
name of his city, that Apronius had come to Aetna with the slaves of Venus; that he had summoned the magistrates
before him; that he had ordered a couch to be spread for him in the middle of the
forum; that he was accustomed every day to feast not only in public, but at the
public expense; that, when at those feasts the concert began to Aetna with the slaves of Venus; that he had summoned the magistrates
before him; that he had ordered a couch to be spread for him in the middle of the
forum; that he was accustomed every day to feast not only in public, but at the
public expense; that, when at those feasts the concert began to sound, and slaves
began to serve him with wine in large goblets, then he used to detain the
cultivators of the soil, and not only with injustice, but even with insolence, to
extort, from them whatever quantity of corn he had ordered them to supply.

What! are they the men of
Aetna alone who say this? Yes, the
Centuripans also, who are in occupation of far the largest part of the Aetnaean
district, to whose ambassadors, most noble men, Andron and Artemon, their senate
gave commissions which had reference to their city in his public capacity,
concerning those injuries which the citizens of Centuripa sustained not in their own
territories, but in those of others. The senate and people of Centuripa did not
choose to send ambassadors; but the Centuripan cultivators of the soil, which is the
greatest body of such men in Sicily, a body
of most honourable and most wealthy men, themselves selected three ambassadors,
fellow citizens of their own, in order that by their evidence you might be made
aware of the calamities, not of one district only, but of almost all

But as I have said, the case of the men of Aetna is clear enough, and established both by public and by private
documents. The task allotted to my diligence is to be required of me rather in the
district of Leontini, for this reason, because the Leontini themselves have not
assisted me much by their public authority. Nor, in truth, while that fellow was
praetor, did these injuries of the farmers very greatly affect them, or rather, I
might say, they did them good. This may, perhaps, appear a marvellous or even an
incredible thing to you, that in such general distress of the cultivators of the
soil, the Leontini, who were the heads of the corn interest, should have been free
from injury and calamity. This is the reason, O judges, that in the territory of
Leontini, no one of the Leontini, with the exception of the single family of
