Why should I mention the threats and insults
with which he inveighed against the people of Teanum Sidicinum, with which he
harassed the men of Puteoli,
because they had adopted Caius Cassius and the Bruti as their patrons? a choice
dictated, in truth, by great wisdom, and great zeal, benevolence, and affection
for them; not by violence and force of arms, by which men have been compelled to
choose you, and Basilus, and others like you both,—men whom no one
would choose to have for his own clients, much less to be their client himself.
