χρόνον δ᾽ οὐ πολὺν διαλιπὼν καὶ παραφυλάξας
ἀποδημοῦντα τὸν Κλώδιον ἐπῆλθε μετὰ πολλῶν τῷ Καπιτωλίῳ, καὶ τὰς
δημαρχικὰς δέλτους, ἐν αἷς ἀναγραφαὶ τῶν διῳκημένων ἦσαν, ἀπέσπασε καὶ
διέφθειρεν. ἐγκαλοῦντος δὲ περὶ τούτου τοῦ Κλωδίου, τοῦ δὲ Κικέρωνος
λέγοντος ὡς παρανόμως ἐκ πατρικίων εἰς δημαρχίαν παρέλθοι, καὶ κύριον
οὐδὲν εἶναι τῶν πεπραγμένων ὑπ᾽
[2]
αὐτοῦ,
Κάτων ἠγανάκτησε καὶ ἀντεῖπε, τὸν μὲν Κλώδιον οὐκ ἐπαινῶν, ἀλλὰ καὶ
δυσχεραίνων τοῖς πεπολιτευμένοις, δεινὸν δὲ καὶ βίαιον ἀποφαίνων [p. 170] ἀναίρεσιν ψηφίσασθαι δογμάτων καὶ πράξεων τοσούτων τὴν
σύγκλητον, ἐν αἷς εἶναι καὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ τῶν περὶ Κύπρον καὶ Βυζάντιον
διοίκησιν. ἐκ τούτου προσέκρουσεν ὁ Κικέρων αὐτῷ πρόσκρουσιν εἰς οὐδὲν
ἐμφανὲς προελθοῦσαν, ἀλλ᾽ ὥστε τῇ φιλοφροσύνῃ χρῆσθαι πρὸς ἀλλήλους
ἀμαυρότερον.
