What then followed? A man of Tarquinii , Quintus Flavius by name, knew this Panurgus, the common slave
 of Roscius and Fannius, and you appointed me as the advocate to conduct the action about
 that business. The cause having been commenced, and an action being appointed according
 to the formula, “for injury and loss inflicted,” you brought it to a
 conclusion with Flavius, without my knowledge. Was it for the half share, or for the
 entire partnership? I will speak plainly. Was it for myself, or for myself and for
 yourself? Was it for myself alone? I could do so according to the precedent set by many
 people; it is lawful to do so; many men have legally done so; I have done you no injury
 in that matter. Do you demand what is due to you? Exact it, and carry it off. Let every
 one have and follow up his portion of his right. “But you managed your affair
 very well.” “Do you too manage yours well” “You
 get your half share valued at a high price.” “Do you too get yours
 valued at a high price.” “You get a hundred thousand sesterces ,”—if indeed that be true.
 “Then do you also get a hundred thousand sesterces .”
