Age, Q. Metellus Pius L. <et> M. Luculli Q. Hortensius M. Lepidus C. Cornelii maiestatis rei quam non onerarunt tantummodo testes salutem, sed etiam, negantes illo incolumi stare rem publicam posse, depoposcerunt! quae decora civitatis, pudet referre, umbone iudiciali repulsa sunt!
And again: Q. Metellus Pius, L. and M. Lucullus, Q. Hortensius, and M. Lepidus not only as witnesses sought the downfall of C. Cornelius, charged with lse-majest, but demanded him, asserting that the commonwealth could not survive if he remained a member of it. What ornaments of the community (I am ashamed to relate it) were rebuffed by the judicial shield!
