[129]
Now I should like
to put a question to Leptines. When you say that the public services come under
the head of religious dues, in what, according to you, did the immunity consist,
which our ancestors then granted and you now leave untouched? For by the old
laws they are not immune from all the special war-taxes or from the equipment of
war-galleys; and they enjoy no immunity from the state services, since they are
included in the religious duties.
