Cn. et Q. Serviliis Caepionibus, iisdem parentibus natis et per omnes honorum gradus ad summam amplitudinem provectis, item fratribus Metellis Quinto et Lucio, consularibus et censoriis, altero etiam triumphali, in Q. Pompeium A. f. repetundarum reum acerrime dicentibus testimonium non abrogata fides absoluto Pompeio, sed ne potentia inimicum oppressisse viderentur occursum est.
Cn. and Q. Servilius Caepio, born of the same parents and advanced to the highest eminence by progress through all stages of official rank, likewise the brothers Metelli, Quintus and Lucius, ex-Consuls and ex-Censors, one of them a triumphator, spoke very strongly in evidence against Q. Pompeius, son of Aulus, accused of extortion. Pompeius was acquitted, not because they were disbelieved but to counter the impression that they had crushed an enemy by their influence.
