patior non moleste tam stultos esse qui haec sperent, tam impudentis qui conentur; illud queror, tam me ab eis esse contemptum ut haec portenta me consule potissimum cogitarent. atque in omnibus his agris aedificiisque vendendis permittitur xviris ut vendant qvibvscvmqve in locis. O perturbatam rationem, o libidinem effrenatam, o consilia dissoluta atque perdita! vectigalia locare nusquam licet nisi in hac urbe, hoc ex loco, hac vestrum frequentia. venire nostras res proprias et in perpetuum a nobis abalienari in Paphlagoniae tenebris atque in Cappadociae solitudine licebit?
