Nam neque facundiae ostentatio rudi et indocto neque gloriae cupido rustico et barbaro neque inceptio patrociniorum capulari seni congruisset; nisi forte Aemilianus pro sua severitate exemplum dedit et ipsis maleficiis infensus accusationem istam pro morum integritate suscepit.
A display of eloquence would have not have sat well on a man inexperienced and ignorant, love of glory on a man rustic and uncouth, apprenticeship as a barrister on an old man next to the grave. Unless perhaps Aemilianus, puritan that he is, has set us an example, and in his hatred of crime itself has undertaken this suit to defend public morality.
