[17] quid ita? quia non alio facinore clari homines, alio obscuri necantur. intersit inter vitae dignitatem summorum atque infimorum; mors quidem inlata per scelus isdem et¹ poenis teneatur et legibus. Nisi forte magis erit parricida, si qui consularem patrem quam si qui humilem² necarit, aut eo mors atrocior erit P³. Clodi quod is in monumentis maiorum suorum sit interfectus⁴—hoc enim ab istis saepe dicitur— proinde quasi Appius ille Caecus viam munierit⁵, non qua populus uteretur, sed ubi impune sui posteri latrocinarentur!

intersit : § 440 (266, c); B. 308; G. 264; H. 559, 3 (484 111) H B 532, I.

summorum , infimorum, simply high and low. 178.10

quidem , yet 178.13

monumentis , memoria4 i.e. the road itself. The Appian Way was constructed B.C. 312 by the censor Ap. Claudius Caecus, an ancestor of Clodius. This circumstance is skillfully used to tell against Clodius, rather than in his favor.
