    PRO A. CAECINA ORATIO

    I. si, quantum in agro locisque desertis audacia potest, tantum in foro atque in iudiciis impudentia valeret, non minus nunc in causa cederet A. Caecina Sex. Aebuti impudentiae, quam tum in vi facienda cessit audaciae. verum et illud considerati hominis esse putavit, qua de re iure disceptari oporteret, armis non contendere, et hoc constantis, quicum vi et armis certare noluisset, eum iure iudicioque superare. [2] ac mihi quidem cum audax praecipue fuisse videtur Aebutius in convocandis hominibus et armandis, tum impudens in iudicio, non solum quod in iudicium venire ausus est--nam id quidem tametsi improbe fit in aperta re, tamen malitia est iam usitatum--sed quod non dubitavit id ipsum quod arguitur confiteri; nisi forte hoc rationis habuit, quoniam, si facta vis esset moribus, superior in possessione retinenda non fuisset, quia contra ius moremque facta sit, A. Caecinam cum amicis metu perterritum profugisse; nunc quoque in iudicio si causa more institutoque omnium defendatur, nos inferiores in agendo non futuros; sin a consuetudine recedatur, se, quo impudentius egerit, hoc superiorem discessurum. quasi vero aut idem possit in iudicio improbitas quod in vi confidentia, aut nos non eo libentius tum audaciae cesserimus quo nunc impudentiae facilius obsisteremus. [3] itaque longe alia ratione, recuperatores, ad agendam causam hac actione venio atque initio veneram. tum enim nostrae causae spes erat posita in defensione mea, nunc in confessione adversarii, tum in nostris, nunc vero in illorum testibus; de quibus ego antea laborabam ne, si improbi essent, falsi aliquid dicerent, si probi existimarentur, quod dixissent probarent; nunc sum animo aequissimo. si enim sunt viri boni, me adiuvant, cum id iurati dicunt quod ego iniuratus insimulo; sin autem minus idonei, me non laedunt, cum eis sive creditur, hoc ipsum quod nos arguimus, sive fides non habetur, de adversarii testium fide derogatur.
