[54]
The third topic which I have got to speak about refers to the charge of bribery; which has
been already entirely refuted by those who have spoken before me, but which must still be
discussed by me, since such is the will of Murena. And while speaking on this point, I will
reply to what Postumius, my own intimate friend, a most accomplished man, has said about the
trials of agents, and about sums of money which he asserts have been found; and to what
Servius Sulpicius, that able and virtuous young man, has said about the centuries of the
knights; and to what Marcus Cato, a man eminent in every kind of virtue, has said about his
own accusation, about the resolution of the senate, and about the republic in general.
