[86]
Therefore,
up to the date of those transactions it is shown by common consent that my
conduct was entirely beneficial to the commonwealth. The proofs are, that my
speeches and motions were successful at your deliberations; that my resolutions
were carried into effect; that thereby decorations came to the city and to all
of you as well as to me; and that for these successes you thanked the gods with
sacrifices and processions.
