[38] καὶ συνόλως δὲ ἱκανὸς ἦν ἐν τοῖς εἰς Γάιον ἐπαίνοις, εἰ δεῖ καλεῖν ἀξίως ἐπαίνους τὰς ἀπολογίας, αἳ πρὸς τὰς ἐξ ὑπονοιῶν αἰτίας καὶ κατηγορίας ἀδήλους καὶ
ἀσαφεῖς ἐγίνοντο· συνόλως γὰρ ὅσα περὶ ἀδελφῶν εἴποι τις ἂν ἢ υἱῶν γνησίων ἐγκώμια, τοσαῦτα καὶ ἔτι πλείω Μάκρων ὑπὲρ Γαΐου διεξῄει πρὸς Τιβέριον.

On the Virtues and on the Office of Ambassadors. Adressed to Caius First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 4. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1855.) — 38 focus

In short, all the things which any one could say on behalf of any brother or legitimate child, such and more too did Macro say to Tiberius in behalf of Caius.
