[32]
I will only
say this, which may be sufficient for my cause and which cannot appear otherwise than far
removed from harshness or severity towards him. For what disgrace is there in the fact of
Appius Claudius being an enemy to Marcus Scaurus? What, I say? Was not his grandfather an
enemy to Publius Africanus? What, I say? Is not that very man himself an enemy to me? Or am
not I to him? And those enmities have perhaps at times caused vexation to each of us, but
certainly have never brought disgrace upon either of us.
