Nunc tempus est ad epistulas Pudentillae praeverti, vel adeo totius rei ordinem paulo altius petere, ut omnibus manifestissime pateat me, quem lucri cupiditate invasisse Pudentillae domum dictitant, si ullum lucrum cogitarem, fugere semper a domo ista debuisse; quin et in ceteris causis minime prosperum matrimonium, nisi ipsa mulier tot incommoda virtutibus suis repensaret, inimicum.
Now it is time to turn to Pudentillas letters, or rather to trace the course of the whole business a fair way back, so that, even though they insist that I trespassed on Pudentillas property in my desire for gain, it will be clearly evident to all that if profit had been in my mind, I ought rather to have shunned that house for ever; and furthermore that my marriage, far from fortunate for other reasons, would have been disadvantageous if the excellences of my wife herself had not made up for so many drawbacks.
