[47]
nam hoc persaepe dixisti, tibi sic
renuntiari, me habere in animo causam hanc praesidio legis
defendere. itane est? ab amicis imprudentes videlicet
prodimur? et est nescio quis de iis, quos amicos nobis
arbitramur, qui nostra consilia ad adversarium deferat?
quisnam hoc tibi renuntiavit? quis tam improbus fuit;
cui ego autem narravi? nemo, ut opinor, in culpa est;
nimirum tibi istud lex ipsa renuntiarit.
