    PRO A. CLVENTIO ORATIO

    I. animum adverti1 , iudices, omnem accusatoris orationem in duas divisam esse partis2 , quarum altera mihi niti et magno opere confidere videbatur3 invidia iam inveterata iudici Iuniani, altera4 tantum modo consuetudinis causa timide et diffidenter attingere rationem venefici criminum, qua de re lege est haec quaestio constituta. itaque mihi certum est hanc eandem distributionem invidiae et criminum sic in defensione servare ut omnes intellegant nihil me nec subterfugere voluisse reticendo nec obscurare dicendo. [2] sed cum considero quo modo mihi in utraque re sit elaborandum, altera pars et ea5 quae propria est iudici vestri et legitimae venefici quaestionis per mihi brevis et non magnae in dicendo contentionis fore videtur, altera autem quae procul ab6 iudicio remota est, quae contionibus+ seditiose concitatis accommodatior+ est quam+ tranquillis moderatisque iudiciis+, perspicio quantum in agendo difficultatis et quantum laboris sit habitura. [3] sed in hac7 difficultate illa me res tamen, iudices, consolatur quod vos de criminibus sic audire consuestis ut eorum omnium8 dissolutionem ab oratore quaeratis, ut non existimetis plus vos ad salutem reo largiri oportere quam quantum defensor purgandis criminibus consequi et dicendo probare potuerit. de invidia autem sic inter nos9 disceptare debetis ut non quid dicatur a nobis sed quid oporteat dici consideretis. agitur enim in criminibus A. Cluenti proprium periculum, in invidia causa communis. quam ob rem alteram partem causae sic agemus ut vos doceamus, alteram sic ut oremus; in altera diligentia vestra nobis adiungenda est, in altera fides imploranda. nemo est enim qui invidiae sine vestro ac sine talium virorum subsidio possit resistere. [4] equidem quod ad me attinet, quo me vertam nescio10 . negem fuisse illam11 infamiam iudici corrupti? negem esse illam rem agitatam in contionibus, iactatam in iudiciis, commemoratam in senatu? evellam ex animis hominum tantam opinionem, tam penitus insitam, tam vetustam? non est12 nostri ingeni, vestri auxili est, iudices, huius innocentiae sic in hac calamitosa fama quasi in aliqua perniciosissima flamma atque in communi incendio subvenire.
