Oh, in the name of good faith, of gods,
 and men! he who once refused to make a gain of three hundred thousand sesterces —for he certainly both could and would have earned three
 hundred thousand sesterces if Dionysia Dionysia was a celebrated dancer. can earn two hundred thousand,—did
 he seek to acquire fifty thousand by the greatest dishonesty, and wickedness and
 treachery? And that sum was immense, this trifling; that was honourable, this sordid;
 that was pleasant, this bitter; that would have been his own, this must have been stated
 on an action and a trial. In these last ten years he might have earned six millions of
 sesterces most honourably. He would not; he undertook the
 labour entitled to gain, but refused the gain of his labour. He did not yet desist from
 serving the Roman people; he has long since ceased to benefit himself.
