“I admit,” says he,
“that Roscius demanded his own share from Flavius; I admit that he left
Fannius's right to make a similar demand entire and unimpaired; but I contend that what
he got for himself became the common property of the partnership” than which
nothing more tricky or more scandalous can be said. For I ask whether Roscius had the
power to demand his share from the partnership, or not? If he could not, how did he get
it? If he could, how was it that he did not demand it for himself? For that which is
demanded for one's self, is certainly not exacted for another.
