the men of Gades to retain this
right, and to prevent the road to this the most honourable reward which the
city can confer from being closed against them for ever? and that they have
cause to rejoice exceedingly that this goodwill of Lucius Cornelius towards
his friends is still in existence at Gades, and that his interest and power of serving his
friends is now settled in this city? For who is there of us to whom that
city of Gades is not the more recommended owing to his zeal and care and
diligence?
