Cicero, Q. fr. 2.3.5
The accusations before the acquittal开释以前的指控
Before the selection选段之前
The preceding paragraph concerns Clodius’ mobilization and Pompey’s position. Against this account of political pressure, Cicero records formal accusations and his own response.前段涉及克洛狄乌斯的动员与庞培处境；在政治压力的叙述中，西塞罗记下正式指控及自己的回应。

2.3.4itaque magnae mihi res iam moveri videbantur. nam Pompeius haec intellegit nobiscumque communicat, insidias vitae suae fieri, C. Catonem a Crasso sustentari, Clodio pecuniam suppeditari, utrumque et ab eo et a Curione, Bibulo, ceterisque suis obtrectatoribus confirmari; vehementer esse providendum ne opprimatur contionario illo populo a se prope alienato, nobilitate inimica, non aequo senatu, iuventute improba. itaque se comparat, homines ex agris accersit operas autem suas Clodius confirmat ; manus ad Quirinalia paratur. in eo multo sumus superiores ipsius copiis ; sed magna manus ex Piceno et Gallia exspectatur, ut etiam Catonis rogationibus de Milone et Lentulo resistamus.Source unit XML · 来源单元Selected original passage所选原文
2.3.5A. d. iiii Idus Febr. Sestius ab indice Cn. Nerio Pupinia de ambitu est postulatus et eodem die a quodam P. Tullio de vi. is erat aeger. domum, ut debuimus, ad eum statim venimus eique nos totos tradidimus idque fecimus praeter hominum opinionem qui nos ei iure suscensere putabant, at humanissimi gratissimique et ipsi et omnibus videremur, taque faciemus. sed idem Nerius index edidit ad allegatos Cn. Lentulum vatiam et C. Cornelium †ista ei†. eodem die senatus consultum factum est ut sodalitates decuriatique discederent lexque de iis ferretur, ut qui non discessissent ea poena quae est de vi tenerentur.Source unit XML · 来源单元Editorial summary编辑摘要
The letter distinguishes an ambitus accusation from a vis accusation on the same day; Cicero reports visiting the sick Sestius and committing himself to his support.信区分同日的贿选指控与暴力指控；西塞罗称自己探望患病的塞斯提乌斯并承诺相助。
After the selection选段之后
The following paragraph describes Cicero using his defence of Bestia to praise the wounded Sestius. Advocacy for one man can prepare the audience for another man’s trial.下段描述西塞罗借为贝斯提亚辩护赞颂负伤的塞斯提乌斯。替一人辩护，也可能为另一人的案件预备听众。

2.3.6A. d. iii Idus Febr. dixi pro Bestia de ambitu apud praetorem Cn. Domitium in foro medio maximo conventu incidique in eum locum in dicendo, cum Sestius multis in templo Castoris vulneribus acceptis subsidio Bestiae servatus esset. hic προῳκονομησάμην quiddam εὐκαίρωσ de iis quae in Sestium adparabantur crimina, et eum ornavi veris laudibus magno adsensu omnium. res homini fuit vehementer grata. quae tibi eo scribo, quod me de retinenda Sesti gratia litteris saepe monuisti.Source unit XML · 来源单元Neither accusation has a verdict in this letter; the acquittal reported in Q. fr. 2.4.1 was on the charge of vis. The text is corrupt at †ista ei†.此信未载两项指控的判决；Q. fr. 2.4.1 所报开释属暴力一案。†ista ei† 一处文本有讹。
