[21] iam ceterorum officia ac¹ studia vidistis, quam cupidus mei C. Cestilius, quam studiosus vestri, quam non varius fuerit in causa. quid M. Cispius²? cui ego ipsi parenti fratrique eius sentio quantum debeam; qui, cum a me³ voluntas eorum in privato iudicio esset offensa, publici mei benefici memoria privatam offensionem oblitteraverunt. iam T. Fadius, qui mihi quaestor fuit, M. Curtius, cuius ego patri quaestor fui, studio amore animo huic necessitudini non defuerunt. multa de me C. Messius et amicitiae et rei publicae causa dixit: legem separatim⁴ initio de salute mea promulgavit.

In the Senate after his Return Perseus (Cicero. The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Vol. 3. Yonge, Charles Duke, translator. London: Bell, 1856.) — 21 focus

[21] Now you have seen the kindness and zeal of the others; how devoted to me was Caius Cestilius, how attached to you, how uniformly faithful to our cause. What did Marcus Cispius do? I know how much I owe to him and to his father and brother; and they, though they had some personal grudge against me on their own private account, still disregarded their private dislike out of recollection of my services to the state. Also, Titus Fadius, who was my quaestor, and Marcus Curtius, to whose father I was quaestor, cherished the memory of our connection with all zeal, and affection, and courage. Caius Messius made many speeches in my behalf, for the sake both of our friendship and of the republic. And he at the beginning proposed a special law respecting my safety.
