[127]
You ask, against whom do I say this, O Erucius. Not against him whom you are meaning
and thinking of; for both my speech from the very beginning, and also I is own eminent
virtue, at all times has acquitted Sulla. I say that Chrysogonus did all this in order
to tell lies; in order to make out Roscius to have been a bad citizen; in order to
represent him as slain among the opposite party; in order to prevent Lucius Sulla from
being rightly informed of these matters by the deputies from Ameria. Last of all, I
suspect that this property was never sold at all; and this matter I will open presently,
O judges, if you will give me leave.
