had only demanded a hundred and ten days to prosecute my inquiries in Sicily, demanded a hundred and eight for himself to
go for a similar purpose into Achaia. When
you had deprived me of the three months most suitable for conducting my cause, you
thought that I would give you up the remainder of the year, so that, when he had
employed the time allowed to me, you, O Hortensius, after the interruption of two
festivals, might make your reply forty days afterwards; and then, that the time
might be so spun out, that we might come from Marius Glabrio, the praetor, and from
the greater part of these judges, to another praetor, and other judges.
