[92] 34 sed iam satis multa de causa, extra causam etiam nimis fortasse multa. quid restat nisi ut orem obtesterque vos, iudices, ut eam misericordiam tribuatis fortissimo viro quam ipse non implorat, ego etiam repugnante hoc et imploro et exposco? nolite, si in nostro omnium fletu nullam lacrimam aspexistis¹ Milonis, si voltum semper eundem, si vocem, si orationem stabilem ac non mutatam videtis, hoc minus ei parcere: haud scio an multo etiam sit adiuvandus² magis. etenim si in gladiatoriis pugnis et in infimi³ generis hominum⁴ condicione atque fortuna timidos et supplices⁵ et ut vivere liceat obsecrantis etiam odisse solemus, fortis et animosos⁶ et se acriter ipsos⁷ morti offerentis servari⁸ cupimus, eorumque nos magis miseret qui nostram misericordiam non requirunt quam qui illam efflagitant, quanto hoc magis in fortissimis civibus⁹ facere debemus!

Clodio remoto , i.e. s9 long as Clodius was alive many would vote for Milo as being his declared enemy, but now that Clodius k out of the way, Milo must rely only on the ordinary means ( usitatis jam rebus) of securing suffrages. 186.7
