Hicine filius heres, qui te in ipso fratris sui funere advocata perditissimorum iuvenum manu voluit excludere e domo quam ipsa donaveras, qui te sibi a fratre coheredem relictam graviter et acerbe tulit, qui confestim te cum tuo luctu et maerore deseruit et ad Rufinum et Aemilianum de sinu tuo aufugit, qui tibi plurimas postea contumelias dixit coram et adiuvante patruo fecit, qui nomen tuum pro tribunalibus ventilavit, qui pudorem tuum tuismet litteris conatus est publice dedecorare, qui maritum tuum, quem elegeras, quem, ut ipse obiciebat, efflictim amabas, capitis accusavit?
Is this son your heir? Why, even at his brothers funeral he summoned a gang of young desperadoes, and tried to shut you out of the house that you yourself had given him. He was furious and resentful because you had made his brother his coheir. He immediately deserted you in your grief and sorrow, and fled from your protection to Rufinus and Aemilianus. He hurled many insults at you with his uncle present and assisting him. He bandied your name about the law courts. He used your very own letters in trying to dishonor you with the public. He brought a capital charge against your chosen husband, whom you loved devotedly, as he himself rebuked you for doing.
