Deny now, deny, if you can, that credit ought to be given to a Roman knight, to an
 honest man, to your own judge. He looks round; he fumes; he denies that we are going to
 recite the testimony of Cluvius. We will recite it; you are mistaken, you are consoling
 yourself with a slight and empty hope. Recite the testimony of Titus Manilius and Caius
 Luscius Ocrea, two senators, most accomplished men, who heard it from Cluvius. 
 ( The secretary reads the evidence of Manilius and Luscius. ) What do you
 say now—that we are not to believe Luscius and Manilius, or that we are not to
 believe Cluvius? I will speak more plainly and openly. 
 Did Luscius and Manilius hear nothing from Cluvius about the hundred thousand sesterces ? or did Cluvius say what was false to Luscius and
 Manilius? On this point I am of a calm and easy mind, and I am not particularly anxious
 as to which way you answer. For the cause of Roscius is fortified by the strongest and
 most solemn evidence of most excellent men. If you have taken time enough to consider to
 which you will refuse belief on their oath, answer me.
