Ut omittam multitudinem, L. Visidio, equiti Romano, homini in primis ornato atque honesto civique semper egregio, cuius ego excubias et custodias mei capitis cognovi in consulatu meo, qui vicinos suos non cohortatus est solum ut milites fierent sed etiam facultatibus suis sublevavit: huic, inquam, tali viro, quem nos senatus consulto collaudare debemus, poteritne esse pacatus Antonius?
To say nothing of the masses, take the Roman knight Lucius Visidius, an eminently substantial and respectable person, always a model citizen; I remember how he kept watch and vigil over my life when I was consul. He has urged his neighbors not only to enlist in the army but even given them subsidies of his own pocket. I say again: can Antonius be at peace with such a man as this, a man whom we ought to commend in a senatorial decree?
