Acerbissimum vero est te, A. Hirti, ornatum [esse] beneficiis Caesaris et talem ab eo relictum qualem ipse miraris' Equidem negare non possum a Caesare Hirtium ornatum, sed illa ornamenta in virtute et industria posita lucent.
But the cruelest cut of all is that you, Aulus Hirtius, favored as you were by Caesars benefactions, left by him in a position at which you yourself marvel' To be sure, I cannot deny that Hirtius was favored by Caesar, but such favors shine when they are bestowed on worth and diligence.
