Sed audistis eo tempore clarissimi viri non solum auctoritatem, sed etiam testimonium, Gellii, qui, quia suam classem attemptatam magno cum suo periculo paene sensit, dixit in contione vestrum, si ego consul, cum fui, non fuissem, rem publicam funditus interituram fuisse.

He had almost positive proof that his fleeta had been tampered with to his own great danger, and he asserted at one of your mass meetings that if I had not been consul at the time when I was, the republic would have been utterly destroyed.
