[8]
Observe, I pray you, O Tubero, how I, who
do not hesitate to speak of my own conduct, do not venture to make any
confession with respect to Ligarius: and I have said thus much respecting
myself, to induce Tubero to excuse me when I say the same things of him. For
I look in the forum on his industry and desire of glory, either on account
of the nearness of our relationship, or because I am delighted with his
genius and with his earnestness, or because I think that the praises of a
young man who is my relative redound somewhat to my own credit.
