quis ibi non est volneratus ferro Phrygio?

non necesse est omnis commemorare Curtios, Marios, denique Memmios¹ quos iam aetas a proeliis avocabat, postremo Priamum ipsum senem², Antistium quem non modo aetas sed etiam leges pugnare prohibebant. iam quos nemo propter ignobilitatem nominat, sescenti sunt qui inter sicarios et de veneficiis accusabant; qui omnes, quod ad me attinet, vellem viverent. nihil enim mali est canes ibi quam plurimos esse ubi permulti observandi multaque servanda sunt.

[90]

“Who was not wounded there with Phrygian¹ steel?”

I need not enumerate all,—the Curtii, the Marii, the Mamerci, whom age now exempted from battles; and, lastly, the aged Priam himself, Antistius, ² whom not only his age, but even the laws excused from going to battle. There are now six hundred men, whom nobody even mentions by name because of their meanness, who are accusers of men on charges of murdering and poisoning; all of whom, as far as I am concerned, I hope may find a livelihood. For there is no harm in there being as many dogs as possible, where there are many men to be watched, and many things to be guarded.
