Dicat hic pius filius, quid in eo tempore sequius agentem vel loquentem matrem suam propter insaniam viderit; neget eam rationibus villiconum et upilionum et equisonum sollertissime subscripsisse; neget fratrem suum Pontianum graviter ab ea monitum, ut sibi ab insidiis Rufini caveret; neget vere obiurgatum, quod litteras, quas ad eum miserat, vulgo circumtulisset nec tamen bona fide legisset; neget post ista quae dixi matrem suam mihi apud villam iam pridem condicto loco nupsisse.
Now let her dutiful son mention anything untoward he saw his mother do or say at that time because of insanity. Let him deny that she most meticulously audited the account books of her stewards, herdsmen, and grooms. Let him deny that that she strongly advised his brother Pontianus to beware of Rufinus treacheries. Let him deny that she quite properly scolded him because he had publicly circulated a letter she had sent him, and even so had not read it in good faith. Let him deny, after all I have said, that his mother married me at her country house, a place we had long since arranged.
