Nam cum ante per aetatem nondum huius auctoritatem loci attingere auderem afatueremque nihil huc nisi perfectum ingenio, elaboratum industria adferri oportere, omne meum tempus amicorum temporibus fransmittendum putavi lia neque hic locus a vacuus umquam fuit ab iis, qui vestram causam defenderent, et meus labor in privatorum periculis asto integreque versatus, ex vesta iudicio fructum estis lissimum consecutus. Nam cum propter dilationem comitiorum fer praetor primus centuriis cunctis renuntiatus sum, facile intellexi, Quirites, et quid de me iudicaretis et quid aliis praescriberetiae uno, cum et auctoritatis in me tantum sit, quantum vos honori- db COOste
