Itaque haec cum a te
divinitus ego dicta arbitrarer, P. Rutilius Rufus, homo
doctus et philosophiae deditus, non modo parum commode,
sed etiam turpiter et flagitiose dicta esse dicebat; idemque
Servium Galbam, quem hominem probe commeminisse se
aiebat, pergraviter reprehendere solebat, quod is, L. Scribonio
quaestionem in eum ferente, populi misericordiam concitasset,
cum M. Cato, Galbae gravis atque acer inimicus,
aspere apud populum Romanum et vehementer esset
locutus, quam orationem in Originibus suis exposuit ipse.

Reprehendebat igitur Galbam Rutilius, quod is C. Sulpici
Gali propinqui sui Q. pupillum filium ipse paene in umeros
suos extulisset, qui patris clarissimi recordatione et memoria
fletum populo moveret, et duos filios suos parvos tutelae
populi commendasset ac se, tamquam in procinctu testamentum
faceret sine libra atque tabulis, populum Romanum
tutorem instituere dixisset illorum orbitati. Itaque, cum et
invidia et odio populi tum Galba premeretur, hisce eum
tragoediis liberatum ferebat; quod item apud Catonem
scriptum esse video, nisi pueris et lacrimis usus esset, poenas
eum daturum fuisse. Haec Rutilius valde vituperabat et
huic humilitati dicebat vel exsilium fuisse vel mortem anteponendam.
