posses
eum1 accusare, tamen, cum is tibi parentis numero fuisset,
id pie facere non posses; cum vero neque iniuriam acceperis
et praetori tuo periculum crees, fatearis necesse est
te illi iniustum impiumque bellum inferre conari. etenim
ista quaestura ad eam rem valet, ut elaborandum tibi in
ratione reddenda sit quam ob rem qui quaestor eius fueris2
accuses, non ut ob eam ipsam causam postulandum sit ut
tibi potissimum accusatio detur. neque fere umquam
venit in contentionem de accusando qui quaestor fuisset,
quin repudiaretur.
