[20] eum non contempsi generum qui tyrannum contempserat. ACCIVS POSTVMIVS hoc colore usus est: nihil est, inquit, inuidia periculosius; hanc sapientes uiri uelut pestiferam uitandam esse praecipiunt: hanc uitaui. ingens inuidia erat: nemo non nobis obiecit fortunam liberorum nostrorum. oderant filiam meam feminae, me patres, quasi publici mali segregem et exprobratorem: quo uno modo honeste potui feci filiam meam ceteris similem, fortunam meam publicae parem: detracta omnis inuidia est; filiam non habeo honestiorem quam uos, seruum frugaliorem habui quam uos.
