[32]
Who, indeed, is of so profligate a disposition, as,
when he sees these things, to be able to be silent and to disregard them? You have
murdered my father when he had not been proscribed; you have classed him when murdered
in the number of proscribed persons; you have driven me by force from my house; you are
in possession of my patrimony. What would you more? have you not come even before the
bench with sword and arms, that you may either convict Sextus Roscius or murder him in
this presence?
