nam quod fortasse non1 nemo vestrum audierit,
istum a Syracusanis publice laudari, id tametsi priore
actione ex Heraclii Syracusani testimonio cuius modi esset
cognovistis, tamen vobis alio loco ut se tota res habeat,
quod ad eam civitatem attineat2, demonstrabitur. intellegetis

istum Syracusanis et esse3 et fuisse.

qui negotiantur in Sicilia5 defendunt, diligunt, salvum esse
cupiunt. primum, si ita6 esset, tamen vos in hac quaestione
de pecuniis repetundis, quae sociorum causa constituta
est lege iudicioque sociali, sociorum querimonias audire
oporteret.
