[81] 30 etenim si id non negat ex quo nihil petit nisi ut ignoscatur, dubitaret¹ id² fateri ex quo etiam praemia laudis essent petenda? nisi vero gratius putat esse vobis sui se capitis quam vestri³ defensorem fuisse; cum praesertim in tali⁴ confessione, si grati esse velletis, honores adsequeretur amplissimos. sin⁵ factum vobis non probaretur—quamquam qui poterat salus sua cuiquam non probari?—sed tamen si minus fortissimi viri virtus civibus grata cecidisset, magno animo constantique cederet ex ingrata civitate. nam quid esset ingratius quam⁶ laetari ceteros, lugere eum solum propter quem ceteri laetarentur?
