[86]
Wherefore I call you, O gods of my country and of my household, to witness,—you
who preside over this city and this empire,—you who have preserved this empire, and
these our liberties, and the Roman people,—you who by your divine assistance
protected these houses and temples when I was consul,—that I with a free and honest
heart am defending the cause of Publius Sulla; that no crime has been concealed by me
knowingly, that no wickedness undertaken against the general safety has been kept back or
defended by me. I, when consul, found out nothing about this man, I suspected nothing, I heard
of nothing.
