The colony of Narbonne fights
equally on behalf of the safety of Marcus Fonteius, which, having been lately delivered from
the blockade of the enemy by this man, is now moved at his misery and danger. Lastly, as is
right in a Gallic war—as the principles and customs of our ancestors
enjoin—there is not one Roman citizen who thinks he requires any excuse for being
eager in this man's behalf. All the publicans of that province, all the farmers, all the
graziers, all the traders, with one heart and one voice, defended Marcus Fonteius.
