Verum ut ad domestica eius eximiae fiduciae acta veniamus, cum a L. Scipione ex Antiochensi pecunia sestertii quadragies ratio in curia reposceretur, prolatum ab eo librum, quo acceptae et expensae summae continebantur, refellique inimicorum accusatio poterat, discerpsit, indignatus de ea re dubitari quae sub ipso legato administrata fuerat.
To come, however, to his domestic acts of exceptional confidence, when L. Scipio was called upon in the senate house for an account of four million sesterces, part of the money from Antiochus, he produced a ledger of sums received and paid from which the hostile accusation could have been disproved. Africanus tore it up in indignation that a matter which had been supervised by himself as Legate should be called in question.
