[22] cessit auctoritati amplissimi viri¹ vel potius paruit: una est profectus cum eis quorum erat una causa. tardius iter fecit; itaque in Africam venit iam occupatam. hinc in Ligarium crimen oritur vel ira potius. nam si crimen est voluisse², non minus magnum est vos Africam, arcem omnium provinciarum, natam ad bellum contra hanc urbem gerendum, obtinere voluisse quam aliquem se maluisse. atque is tamen aliquis Ligarius non fuit: Varus imperium se habere dicebat; fascis certe habebat.
