[52] petisse, inquit, suam partem Roscium a Flavio confiteor, vacuam et integram reliquisse Fanni concedo; sed, quod sibi exegit, id commune societatis factum esse contendo. quo nihil captiosius neque indignius potest dici. quaero enim potueritne Roscius ex societate suam partem petere necne. si non potuit, quem ad modum abstulit? si potuit, quem ad modum non sibi exegit? nam quod sibi petitur, certe alteri non exigitur.

[52] “I admit,” says he, “that Roscius demanded his own share from Flavius; I admit that he left Fannius's right to make a similar demand entire and unimpaired; but I contend that what he got for himself became the common property of the partnership” than which nothing more tricky or more scandalous can be said. For I ask whether Roscius had the power to demand his share from the partnership, or not? If he could not, how did he get it? If he could, how was it that he did not demand it for himself? For that which is demanded for one's self, is certainly not exacted for another.
