[42]
What can you do with such a man? or what hope can you allow so perfidious, so
ill-omened an animal to entertain? One who despised and trampled on the lot which
bound him to Cnaeus Carbo, the choice which connected him with Cnaeus Dolabella, and
not only deserted them both, but also betrayed and attacked them. Do not, I beg of
you, O judges, judge of his crimes by the brevity of my speech rather than by the
magnitude of the actions themselves. For I am forced to make haste in order to have
time to set before you all the things which I have resolved to relate to you.
Wherefore, now that his quaestorship has been put before you, saw that the
dishonesty and wickedness of his first conduct in his first office has been
thoroughly seen, listen, I pray you, to the remainder.
