[57]
In the first instance then I will reply to Cnaeus Postumius, who, somehow or
other, I know not how, while a candidate for the praetorship, appears to me to be a straggler
into the course marked out for the candidates for the consulship, as the horse of a vaulter
might escape into the course marked out for the chariot races. And if there is no fault
whatever to be found with his competitors, then he has made a great concession to their worth
in desisting from his canvass. But if any one of them has committed bribery, then he must look
for some friend who will be more inclined to prosecute an injury done to another than one done
to himself.
