When, O judges, I saw that on account of the eminent and singular good faith
of Cnaeus Plancius, shown in taking care of my safety, so many excellent men
were favourers of his cause, I felt no ordinary pleasure, because I saw that
the recollection of what happened at the time of my necessities was pleading
for him whose kindness had been my preservation. But when I heard that men,
some of whom were my enemies, and some of whom were envious of me, favoured
this accusation and that the very same thing was now adverse to the
interests of Cnaeus Plancius in this trial which had been advantageous to
him in his canvass, I was grieved, O judges, and was very indignant at the
idea of his safety being endangered for the sole reason that he, by his
benevolence, and energy, and vigilance had protected my safety and my life.
