[24]
Listen, I entreat you, to the evidence of honest men touching those affairs which I am
speaking of those things which my witnesses state, our adversary confesses that they state
truly. Those things which my witnesses do not state, because they have not seen them and do
not know them, those things our adversary himself states. Our witnesses say that they saw the
men lying dead; that they saw blood in many places; that they saw the building demolished.
They say nothing further. What says Fabius? He denies none of these things. What then further
does he add?
