est adhuc, id quod vos omnis
admirari video, non Verres, sed Q. Mucius. quid enim
facere potuit elegantius ad1 hominum existimationem,
aequius ad levandam mulieris calamitatem, vehementius ad
quaestoris libidinem coercendam? summe haec omnia
mihi videntur esse laudanda. sed repente2 e vestigio3 ex
homine tamquam aliquo Circaeo4 poculo factus est Verres;
rediit5 ad se atque ad mores suos; nam ex illa pecunia
magnam partem ad se vertit6, mulieri reddidit quantulum
visum est.
