[37] fac igitur, quod de homine nobilissimo et clarissimo fecisti¹ nuper in curia, nunc idem in foro de optimis et huic omni frequentiae probatissimis fratribus. ut concessisti illum senatui, sic da hunc populo, cuius voluntatem carissimam semper habuisti, et, si ille dies tibi gloriosissimus, populo Romano gratissimus fuit, noli, obsecro, dubitare, C. Caesar, similem illi gloriae laudem quam saepissime quaerere. nihil est tam populare quam bonitas, nulla de virtutibus tuis plurimis nec admirabilior nec gratior misericordia est.
