Romano collatis sextantibus adornatum est, si Atilius Regulus, cuius agellus ob similem penuriam publica pecunia cultus est, si denique omnes illae veteres prosapiae consulares et censoriae et triumphales brevi usura lucis ad iudicium istud remissae audirent, auderesne paupertatem philosopho exprobrare apud tot consules pauperes?.
men who because of their meager resources had funerals furnished with the peoples pennies, or Atilius Regulus, whose little farm was cultivated at public expense because he too was poor, suppose in short all those men of ancient stock, past consuls, censors, triumph holders, were given a brief spell of daylight to preside at this trial and to listen'would you dare to upbraid a philosopher for poverty before so many consular paupers?
