[9] sed hoc quaero: quis putat¹ esse crimen fuisse in Africa²? nempe is qui et ipse in eadem provincia³ esse voluit et prohibitum se a Ligario queritur, et certe contra ipsum Caesarem est congressus armatus. quid enim, Tubero, tuus ille⁴ destrictus in acie Pharsalica gladius agebat? cuius latus ille mucro petebat? qui sensus erat armorum tuorum? quae tua mens, oculi, manus, ardor animi? quid cupiebas, quid optabas? nimis urgeo; commoveri videtur adulescens.
