Cuius ut ad alium aeque illustrem actum transgrediar, Cn. Domitius tribunus plebis M. Scaurum principem civitatis in iudicium populi devocavit, ut si Fortuna aspirasset, ruina, sin minus, certe ipsa obtrectatione amplissimi viri incrementum claritatis apprehenderet.
To pass to another equally famous proceeding thereof, Tribune of the Plebs Cn. Domitius called M. Scaurus, the leading man of the community, to trial before the people, hoping to catch some enhancement of reputation by ruining a great man if Fortune was with him or, if not, at least by the mere detraction.
