[94]
But you, who might with justice have found fault with
them for earlier acts of trespass, so far from being vindictive and deserting
them in their distress, appeared as their deliverers, and by that conduct won
renown,—the goodwill of the whole world. Moreover all know that you
have awarded crowns to many politicians; but no one can name any man—I
mean any statesman or orator—except me, by whose exertions the city
itself has been crowned.
