[102] Cominii cum hoc agerent quod nos in tota causa¹ egimus probaverunt. quam ob rem, si Staieni damnatione Oppianicum iudicium corrumpere voluisse, Oppianicum iudici ad emendas sententias dedisse pecuniam iudicatum est, et,² cum ita constitutum sit ut³ in illa⁴ culpa aut Cluentius sit aut Oppianicus, Cluenti nummus nullus iudici datus ullo vestigio reperitur⁵, Oppianici pecunia post iudicium factum ab⁶ iudice ablata est: potest esse dubium quin illa damnatio Staieni non modo non sit contra Cluentium sed maxime nostram causam defensionemque confirmet?

[102] When the Cominii did the same thing that I have done throughout the whole of this cause, people approved of them. Wherefore, if by the condemnation of Stalenus it was decided that Oppianicus had desired to corrupt the judges,—that Oppianicus had given one of the judges money to purchase the votes of the other judges, (since it has been already settled that either Cluentius is guilty of that offence, or else Oppianicus, but that no trace whatever is found of any money belonging to Cluentius having been ever given to any judge, while money belonging to Oppianicus was taken away, after the trial was over, from a judge,)—can it be doubtful that that conviction of Stalenus does not only not make against Cluentius, but is the greatest possible confirmation of our cause and of our defence?
