What shall I say if even the pretext of that injury which was done to
you by him no longer remains? What have you then to say why you should be preferred, I
will not say to me, but to any one? except that which I hear you intend to say, that you
were his quaestor: which indeed would be an important allegation if you were contending
with me as to which of us ought to be the most friendly to him; but in a contention as
to which is to take up a quarrel against him, it is ridiculous to suppose that an
intimate connection with him can be a just reason for bringing him into danger.
