[61]
In another place we will
consider what sort of a reply this is; at present I am not concerned with it; for of
the times about which I am at present occupied I have the accounts, both yours and
those of your father. You cannot deny that you carried off very many most beautiful
statues, very many admirable paintings. I wish you would deny it. Show in your
accounts or in those of your father that any one of them was purchased, and you have
gained your cause. There is not even any possibility of your having bought those two
most beautiful statues which are now standing in your court, and which stood for
many years by the folding doors of the Samian Juno; these two, I say, which are now
the only statues left in your house, which are waiting for the broker, left alone
and deserted by the other statues.
