[123]
In the name of the immortal gods, O judges, with what feelings are you sitting
them? or with what feelings are you hearing these things? Am I out of my mind, and
now I grieving more than I ought amid such disasters and distresses of our allies?
or does this most bitter torture and agony of innocent man affect you also with an
equal sense of pain? For when I say that a Herbitan, that a Heraclean was put to
death, I see before my eyes all the indignity of that misfortune.
