[60]
You ask what more Plancius
could have got if he had been the son of Cnaeus Scipio. He could not have
been made an aedile more than he is; but he would have gained this, that he
would not be so much envied. In truth the degrees of honour are equal in the
case of the highest and the lowest citizens, but the glory of arriving at
them is unequal.
