ignosce, ignosce, Caesar, si eius viri auctoritati
rex Deiotarus cessit quem1 nos omnes secuti sumus; ad
quem cum di atque homines omnia ornamenta congessissent,
tum tu ipse plurima et maxima. nec enim2, si tuae res
gestae ceterorum laudibus obscuritatem attulerunt, idcirco
Cn. Pompei memoriam amisimus. quantum nomen illius3
fuerit, quantae opes, quanta in omni genere bellorum gloria,
quanti honores populi Romani, quanti senatus, quanti tui,
quis ignorat? tanto4 ille superiores vicerat gloria quanto
tu omnibus5 praestitisti. itaque Cn. Pompei bella, victorias,
triumphos, consulatus admirantes numerabamus: tuos enumerare
non possumus.
