[16] iam illud ipse dicet¹ profecto quod sua sponte fecit, Publione Clodio tribuendum putarit an tempori. 7 domi² suae nobilissimus vir, senatus propugnator atque illis quidem temporibus paene patronus, avunculus huius iudicis nostri fortissimi viri, M. Catonis, tribunus plebis M. Drusus occisus est. nihil de eius morte populus consultus est³, nulla quaestio decreta a senatu est. quantum luctum fuisse in hac urbe⁴ a nostris patribus accepimus, cum P. Africano domi suae quiescenti⁵ illa nocturna vis esset inlata? quis tum non ingemuit⁶, quis non arsit dolore, quem immortalem, si fieri posset, omnes esse cuperent, eius ne necessariam quidem exspectatam esse mortem? num igitur ulla quaestio de Africani morte lata est? certe nulla.
