For, when we were children, this man's father Caius Curius was a most gallant
chief of the equestrian order, and a most extensive farmer of the public
revenues, a man whose greatness of spirit as displayed in carrying on his

seemed not so much to be seeking to gratify his avarice, as to procure
additional means for exerting his kindness.
