M. autem Cato nihil oppertus, ut alii de se praedicarent, ipse in oratione sua scriptum reliquit, cum in Hispaniam consul proficisceretur, tris servos solos ex urbe duxisse; quoniam ad villam publicam venerat, parum visum qui uteretur, iussisse duos pueros in foro de mensa emi, eos quinque in Hispaniam duxisse.
As for Marcus Cato, he did not wait for others to praise him, but put on record in a speech of his own that when starting for Spain as consul, he brought just three slaves from the city; but after he had been to the Villa Publica, they seemed too few for his needs, and so he ordered two slaves to be bought off the stand in the Forum, and took those five to Spain.
