[101] facere possum Erucium conscripsisse; quod aiunt illum Sex. Roscio intentasse et minitatum¹ esse se omnia illa pro testimonio esse dicturum. O praeclarum testem, iudices! o gravitatem dignam exspectatione! o vitam² honestam atque eius modi ut libentibus animis ad eius³ testimonium vestrum ius iurandum accommodetis! profecto non tam perspicue nos istorum⁴ maleficia videremus, nisi ipsos caecos redderet cupiditas et avaritia et audacia.

For Sextus Roscius of Ameria Perseus (Cicero. The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Volume 1. Yonge, Charles Duke, translator. London: Bell, 1903.) — 101 focus

[101] Only let him come; let him unfold that volume of his which I can prove that Erucius wrote for him, which they say that he displayed to Sextus Roscius, and threatened that he would mention everything contained in it in his evidence. O the excellent witness, O judges; O gravity worthy of being attended to; O honourable course of life! such that you may with willing minds make your oaths depend upon his testimony! In truth we should not see the crimes of these men so clearly if cupidity, and avarice, and audacity, did not render them blind.
