[43]
Deny now, deny, if you can, that credit ought to be given to a Roman knight, to an
honest man, to your own judge. He looks round; he fumes; he denies that we are going to
recite the testimony of Cluvius. We will recite it; you are mistaken, you are consoling
yourself with a slight and empty hope. Recite the testimony of Titus Manilius and Caius
Luscius Ocrea, two senators, most accomplished men, who heard it from Cluvius.
（The secretary reads the evidence of Manilius and Luscius.) What do you
say now—that we are not to believe Luscius and Manilius, or that we are not to
believe Cluvius? I will speak more plainly and openly.
