[36] hic igitur T. Ligarius, qui tum nihil egit aliud—neque enim haec divinabat—nisi ut tui se¹ studiosum et bonum virum iudicares, nunc a te supplex fratris salutem petit. quam huius admonitus officio cum utrisque his dederis, tris fratres optimos et integerrimos non solum sibi ipsos² neque his tot talibus viris neque nobis necessariis tuis³ sed etiam rei publicae condonaveris.
