[30]
we shall not have Quintus Manlius and Quintus Cornificius, two most severe and
upright judges, for judges, because they will then be tribunes of the people.
Publius Sulpicius, a solemn and upright judge, must enter on his magistracy on the
fifth of November. Marcus Crepereius, of that renowned equestrian family and of that
incorruptible character; Lucius Cassius, of a family renowned for its severity in
all things, and especially as judges; Cnaeus Tremellius, a man of the greatest
scrupulousness and diligence;—these three men of ancient strictness of
principle are all military tribunes elect. After the first of January they will not
be able to act as judges. And besides this, we elect by lot a successor in the room
of Marcus Metellus, since he is to preside over this very trial. And so after the
first of January, the praetor, and almost the whole bench of judges being changed,
we shall elude the terrible threats of the prosecutor, and the great expectations
entertained of this trial, and manage it according to our own will and pleasure.
