[25]
Aulus Terentius, a second witness, convicts not only
Aebutius, but himself also. He says this against Aebutius, that there were armed men; but
concerning himself he makes this statement, that he ordered Antiochus, the slave of Aebutius,
to attack Caecina with the sword if he came on the land. What more shall I say of this man?
against whom, indeed, I did not wish to say anything, though I was begged by Caecina to do so,
that I might not seem to accuse him of a capital crime; but now I am in doubt how to speak of
him, or how to be silent about him; since he, on his oath, makes this statement about himself.
