[124]
I come now to that golden name of Chrysogonus, 1
under which name the whole confederacy is set up, concerning whom, O judges, I am at a
loss both how to speak and how to hold my tongue; for if I say nothing, I leave out a
great part of my argument, and if I speak, I fear that not he alone (about whom I am not
concerned), but others also may think themselves injured; although the case is such that
it does not appear necessary to say much against the common cause of the brokers. For
this cause is, in truth, a novel and an extraordinary cause. Chrysogonus is the
purchaser of the property of Sextus Roscius.
