M. Tullius Cicero, Against Verres (ed. C. D. Yonge), section 58 (search)
I have now been recounting to you, O judges, the species
of countless injuries which he has wrought,—one of each sort. An infinite
host of evil actions I pass over. Place before your own eyes, keep in your minds,
these invasions by collectors of the whole of Sicily, their plunderings of the cultivators of the soil, the
harshness of this man, the absolute reign of Apronius. He despised the Sicilians; he
did not consider them as men, he thought that they would not be vigorous in avenging
themselves, and that you would treat their oppression lightly

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 ar 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 though there was war in Italy so close to Sicily, still it never came into Sicily. Where is the wonder? for when it existed in Sicily, at exactly the same distance from Italy, no part of it reached Italy.

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 collectors

For you know that the kings of Syria, the boyish sons of King Antiochus, have lately been at
Rome. And they came not on account of
the kingdom of Syria; for that they had
obtained possession of without dispute, as they had received it from their father
and their ancestors; but they thought that the kingdom of Egypt belonged to them and to Selene their mother.
When they, being hindered by the critical state of the republic at that time, were
not able to obtain the discussion of the subject as they wished before the senate,
they departed for Syria, their paternal
kingdom. One of them—the one whose name is Antiochus—wished to
make his journey through Sicily. And so,
while Verres was praetor, he came to Syracu

But, I suppose in these matters alone had he this irrepressible and unbridled
covetousness; his other desires were restrained by some reason and moderation. To
how many noble virgins, to how many matrons do you think he offered violence in that
foul and obscene lieutenancy? In what town did he set his foot that he did not leave
more traces of his rapes and atrocities than he did of his arrival? But I will pass
over everything which can be denied; even those things which are most certain and
most evident I will omit; I will select one of his abominable deeds, in order that I
may the more easily at last arrive at Sicily, which has imposed the burden of this business on me.
