[81]
But you, also, you who take men's rights as citizens
from them, have also passed a law with respect to public injuries in favour
of some fellow of Anagnia, of
the name of Maerula, and he on account of that law has erected a statue to
you in my house; so that the place itself, in hearing witness to your
prodigious injustice, might refute the law and inscription on your statue.
And that law was a much greater cause of grief to the citizens of Anagnia than the crimes which that
gladiator had committed in that municipal town.
