Note 920 — Chapter II · (684-691.)
Reading edition
“You name me a foreigner because I have come from a municipal town. If you regard us as foreigners, although our name and rank were formerly well established at Rome, and in public opinion, how much then must these competitors be foreigners in your eyes, this élite of Italy, who come from all parts to dispute with you magistrateships and honours?” (Cicero, Oration for Sylla, 8.)
