Iniuriis contumeliisque concitatus, quod fructu laboris industriaeque meae privatus statum dignitatis non optinebam, publicam miserorum causam pro mea consuetudine suscepi, non quin aes alienum meis nominibus ex possessionibus solvere possem'et alienis nominibus liberalitas Orestillae suis filiaeque copiis persolveret'sed quod non dignos homines honore honestatos videbam meque falsa suspicione alienatum esse sentiebam.
Provoked by wrongs and outrages, since I had been robbed of the fruits of my toil and exertion and was unable to maintain the position of my prestige, I took up the general cause of the unfortunate in keeping with my usual custom; not because I could not pay my personal debts from my own holdings (and the liberality of Orestilla, by means of her own and her daughters resources, would have wiped out the obligations incurred through others), but because I saw the unworthy elevated to public office and realized that I was an outcast because of baseless suspicion.
