Cuius factum si cui placet, necesse est L. etiam Crassi, qui apud maiores eloquentia clarissimus fuit, propositum non displiceat: nam cum ex consulatu provinciam Galliam obtineret, atque in eam C. Carbo, cuius patrem damnaverat, ad speculanda acta sua venisset, non solum eum inde non summovit, sed insuper locum ei in tribunali adsignavit nec ulla de re nisi eo in consilium adhibito cognovit.
Whoever approves his action must not disapprove the plan of L. Crassus, who was most famous for eloquence in our ancestors time. After his Consulship he governed the province of Gaul. To that province came C. Carbo, whose father he had convicted, to spy upon his doings. Not only did Crassus not remove him from the scene, he went further, assigning him a place on his platform and taking cognizance of nothing without putting Carbo on his advisory board.
