Lentulus², ultor sceleris illius³, propugnator senatus, defensor vestrae voluntatis, patronus publici consensus, restitutor salutis meae; septem praetores, octo tribuni plebei illius adversarii, defensores mei; Cn. Pompeius, auctor et dux mei reditus, illius hostis, cuius sententiam senatus omnis⁴ de salute mea gravissimam et ornatissimam secutus est, qui populum Romanum est cohortatus⁵; qui cum decretum de me⁶ Capuae fecisset⁷, ipse cunctae Italiae cupienti et eius fidem imploranti signum dedit ut ad me restituendum Romam concurreret⁸; omnium denique in illum odia civium ardebant desiderio mei, quem qui tum interemisset, non de impunitate eius, sed de praemiis cogitaretur.
