[101]
And if, O judges, it ought to avail Lucius Flaccus that,
as tribune of the soldiers, as quaestor, as lieutenant to the most illustrious generals, he
has behaved among the most distinguished armies, and in the most important provinces, in a
manner worthy of his ancestors; let it also avail him, that before your own eyes, at a time of
general danger to you all, he united his fate to mine, and shared my danger; let the
panegyrics of most honourable municipalities and colonies avail him; let the most glorious and
genuine praise of the Roman senate and Roman people avail him.
