Quid? M. Cicero forensi militia summos honores amplissimumque dignitatis locum adeptus, nonne in ipsis eloquentiae suae castris testis abiectus est, dum P. Clodium Romae apud se fuisse iurat, illo sacrilegum flagitium uno argumento absentiae tuente?
And again: campaigning in the courts M. Cicero won the highest offices and a most eminent status, but was he not rejected as a witness in the very camp of his eloquence, when he swore that P. Clodius had been in his (Ciceros) house in Rome and Clodius denial of a sacrilegious offence rested solely on his alibi?
