Interea magna vis accusatorum in eos irrupit qui pecunias faenore auctitabant, adversum legem dictatoris Caesaris, qua de modo credendi possidendique intra Italiam cavetur, omissam olim quia privato usui bonum publicum postponitur. Sane vetus urbi faenebre malum et seditionum discordiarumque creberrima causa, eoque cohibebatur antiquis quoque et minus corruptis moribus. Nam primo duodecim tabulis sanctum ne quis unciario faenore amplius exerceret, cum antea ex libidine locupletium agitaretur: dein rogatione tribunicia ad semuncias redactum, postremo vetita versura. Multisque plebis scitis obviam itum fraudibus quae totiens repressae miras per artes rursum oriebantur. Sed tum Gracchus praetor, cui ea quaestio evenerat, multitudine periclitantium subactus rettulit ad senatum, trepidique patres (neque enim quisquam tali culpa vacuus) veniam a principe petivere: et concedente annus in posterum sexque menses dati, quis secundum iussa legis rationes familiares quisque componerent. Hinc inopia rei nummariae, commoto simul omnium aere alieno, et quia tot damnatis bonisque eorum divenditis signatum argentum fisco vel aerario attinebatur. Ad hoc senatus praescripserat duas quisque faenoris partes in agris per Italiam conlocarent. Sed creditores in solidum appellabant

nec decorum appellatis minuere fidem. Ita primo concursatio et preces, dein strepere praetoris tribunal, eaque quae remedio quaesita, venditio et emptio, in contrarium mutari quia faeneratores omnem pecuniam mercandis agris condiderant. Copiam vendendi secuta vilitate, quanto quis obaeratior, aegrius distrahebant, multique fortunis provolvebantur: eversio rei familiaris dignitatem ac famam praeceps dabat, donec tulit opem Caesar disposito per mensas miliens sestertio factaque mutuandi copia sine usuris per triennium si debitor populo in duplum praediis cavisset. Sic refecta fides et paulatim privati quoque creditores reperti. Neque emptio agrorum exercita ad formam senatus consulti, acribus, ut ferme talia, initiis, incurioso fine.

Tum etiam illi quinque, qui imperitorum hominum rumusculos aucupati, tum illum absolverunt, iam suam clementiam laudari magno opere nolebant. A quibus si qui quaereret sedissentne iudices in C. Fabricium, sedisse se dicerent: si interrogarentur num quo crimine is esset accusatus, praeterquam veneni eius quod quaesitum Habito diceretur, negarent: si deinde essent rogati quid iudicassent, condemnasse se dicerent. Nemo enim absolvit. Eodem modo quaesitum si esset de Scamandro, certe idem respondissent: tametsi ille una sententia est absolutus: sed illam unam nemo tum istorum suam dici vellet. igitur facilius suae sententiae rationem redderet isne qui se et sibi et rei iudicatae constitisse dicit: an ille qui se in principem maleficii lenem, in adiutores eius et conscios vehementissimum esse respondit? Quorum ego de sententia non debeo disputare. Neque enim dubito quin ii tales viri suspicione aliqua percussi repentina de statu suo declinarint. Quare eorum qui absolverunt misericordiam non reprehendo: eorum qui in iudicando superiora iudicia secuti sunt sua sponte, non Staieni fraude, constantiam comprobo eorum vero, qui sibi non liquere dixerunt, sapientiam laudo: qui absolvere eum, quem nocentissimum cognorant, et quem ipsi bis iam antea condemnarant, nullo modo poterant: condemnare, cum tanta consilii infamia et tam atrocis rei suspicio esset iniecta, paullo posterius patefacta re maluerunt.
