Domitium, clarissimum et nobilissimum virum, occideras multosque praeterea² qui e³ proelio effugerant, quos Caesar, ut non nullos, fortasse servasset⁴, crudelissime persecutus trucidaras. quibus rebus tantis⁵ talibus gestis quid fuit causae cur in Africam⁶ Caesarem non sequerere, cum praesertim belli pars tanta restaret⁷? itaque quem locum apud ipsum Caesarem post eius ex Africa reditum obtinuisti? quo numero fuisti? cuius tu imperatoris quaestor fueras, dictatoris magister equitum, belli princeps, crudelitatis auctor, praedae socius, testamento⁸, ut dicebas⁹ ipse, filius, appellatus es de pecunia quam pro domo, pro hortis, pro sectione debebas.
