Roman History

44.36.5

Cassius Dio

translated by Earnest Cary

5Strangers, even if through jealousy they doubt the deeds, yet for that very reason deem each statement they hear strong enough; but your minds, because of your good-will, must inevitably prove impossible to satisfy. For you yourselves have profited most by Caesar’s virtues, and you demand their praises, not half-heartedly, as if he were unrelated to you, but with deep affection as for your own kinsman.
