M. Tullius Cicero, Speech before Roman Citizens on Behalf of Gaius Rabirius, Defendant Against the Charge of Treason
William Blake Tyrrell, Ed.

[6] Now, Titus Labienus, since you have obstructed my careful preparations by your limitations on my time and forced me from the usually allotted time for a defense into a scant half hour, compliance will be granted both to a prosecutor's condition, which is very unfair, and, what is most deplorable, to the power of a personal enemy. Although with this ruling of a half hour, you left me the role of an advocate, you have taken away that of a consul, since the time, nearly sufficient for mounting a defense, will be truly too little for sounding complaints.
