This Titus Ligarius, then, who had at that time no other object except to
induce you to think him attached to your interests, and a virtuous man also,
(for he could never foresee these present circumstances,) now as a suppliant
begs the safety of his brother from you. And when, urged by the recollection
of his devotion to you, you have granted that safety to these men, you will
by so doing have made a present of three most virtuous and upright brothers,
not only to themselves, nor to these men, numerous and respectable as they
are, nor to us who are their intimate friends, but also to the republic.
