[66]
I would willingly argue
this with those most eminent and illustrious men, Quintus Catulus and Quintus Hortensius; for
they know the distresses of the allies, they see their calamities, they hear their complaints.
Do you think that you are sending an army in defence of your allies against their enemies, or
rather, under presence of the existence of enemies, against your allies and friends
themselves? What city is there in Asia which can
stand the ferocity and arrogance, I will not say of the, army, of a commander-in-chief, or of
a lieutenant, but of even the brigade of one single military tribune?
