For what title can I more
suitably bestow on Pansa? Though he has, indeed, the title of the highest honor
in the republic. What, too, shall I call Hirtius? He, indeed, is consul; but
this latter title is indicative of the kindness of the Roman people; the other
of valor and victory. What? Shall I hesitate to call Caesar imperator, a man born for the republic by the express kindness of
the gods? He who was the first man who turned aside the savage and disgraceful
cruelty of Antonius, not only from our throats but from our limbs and bowels?
What numerous and what important virtues, O ye immortal gods, were displayed on
that single day.
