    M. Tulli Ciceronis pro Sex. Roscio Amerino Oratio

    I. credo ego vos, iudices, mirari quid+ sit quod, cum1 tot summi oratores hominesque nobilissimi sedeant, ego potissimum surrexerim2 , is qui neque aetate neque ingenio neque auctoritate sim cum his qui sedeant comparandus. omnes hi quos videtis adesse in hac causa iniuriam novo scelere conflatam putant oportere defendi, defendere ipsi3 propter iniquitatem temporum non audent. ita fit ut adsint+ propterea quod officium+ sequuntur+, taceant+ autem idcirco quia+ periculum+ vitant+.4 [2] quid ergo?+ audacissimus++ ego ex omnibus+? minime+. an5 tanto officiosior quam+ ceteri? ne istius quidem laudis ita sum6 cupidus ut aliis eam praereptam velim. quae me igitur res praeter ceteros impulit ut causam Sex. Rosci reciperem? quia, si qui istorum dixisset+ quos videtis adesse, in quibus summa auctoritas est atque amplitudo, si verbum+ de re publica+ fecisset+, id quod in hac causa fieri necesse est, multo plura+ dixisse+ quam dixisset putaretur+. [3] ego autem si7 omnia quae dicenda sunt libere dixero, nequaquam tamen similiter oratio mea exire atque8 in volgus emanare poterit. deinde quod ceterorum neque dictum obscurum potest esse propter nobilitatem et amplitudinem9 neque temere dicto concedi propter aetatem et prudentiam. ego si quid liberius dixero, vel occultum esse propterea quod nondum ad rem publicam accessi, vel ignosci adulescentiae meae10 poterit; tametsi non modo ignoscendi ratio verum etiam cognoscendi consuetudo iam de civitate sublata est. [4] accedit illa quoque causa quod a ceteris forsitan ita petitum sit ut dicerent, ut utrumvis salvo officio se facere11 posse arbitrarentur; a me autem ei contenderunt qui apud me et amicitia et beneficiis et dignitate plurimum possunt, quorum ego nec12 benevolentiam erga me ignorare nec auctoritatem aspernari nec voluntatem neglegere debebam13 .
