At ego, quamquam omnino positum ullum sudarium meum in bibliotheca Pontiani possim negare ac, <si> maxime fuisse concedam, tamen habeam dicere nihil in eo involutum fuisse (quae si dicam, neque testimonio aliquo neque argumento revincar; nemo est enim qui attigerit, unus libertus, ut ais, qui viderit); tamen, inquam, per me licet fuerit refertissimum.
I could indeed deny that I had put any napkin in Pontianus book chest, and even if I were fully to concede that I had, I would could well say that I had nothing wrapped in it (and if I did say so, no testimony or argument could refute me, since no one touched it and, so you claim, just one freedman saw it); even so, I repeat, for all I care it was chock full.
