O amorem mirum! O benivolentiam singularem! non procul absunt ab hac simulatione res inter se similes, confessio nihil nocitura, qualis est: habes igitur, Tubero, quod est accusatori maxime optandum, confitentem reum; et concessio, cum aliquid etiam iniquum videmur causae fiducia pati: metum virgarum nauarchus nobilissimae civitatis pretio redemit: humanum est; et pro Cluentio de invidia: dominetur in contionibus, iaceat in iudiciis; tertia consensio, ut pro eodem, iudicium esse corruptum.
