I would not venture, O judges, to mention these things, if I were not afraid that
you might perhaps say that you had heard more about that man from others in common
conversation, than you had heard from me in this trial; for who is there who has not
heard of this workshop, of the golden vessels, of Verres's tunic and dark cloak?
Name any respectable man you please out of the whole body of settlers at Syracuse, I will produce ham; there will not be
one person who will not say that he has either seen this or heard of it.
