[78] et domi quidem causam amoris habuisti¹, foris etiam turpiorem ne L. Plancus praedes tuos² venderet. productus autem in contionem a tribuno plebis cum respondisses te rei tuae causa venisse, populum etiam dicacem in te reddidisti. sed nimis multa de nugis: ad maiora veniamus.

32 C. Caesari³ ex Hispania redeunti obviam longissime processisti. celeriter isti⁴, redisti, ut cognosceret te si minus fortem, at tamen strenuum. factus es ei rursus nescio quo modo familiaris. habebat hoc omnino Caesar: quem plane perditum aere alieno egentemque, si eundem nequam hominem audacemque cognorat⁵, hunc in familiaritatem libentissime recipiebat.
