Num igitur eum, si tum esses, temerarium civem aut crudelem putares, aut Q. Metellum, cuius quattuor filii consulares, P. Lentulum, principem senatus, compluris alios summos viros qui cum Opimio consule armati <C.> Gracchum in Aventinum persecuti sunt?
Would you have deemed him a rash or cruel citizen, if you had lived then, and held the same view of Quintus Metellus, who had four consular sons, or Publius Lentulus, leader of the senate, or a number of other eminent men who chased Gaius Gracchus to the Aventine with weapons in their hands along with the consul Opimius?
