[587] A pa.s.sage from Caius"s speech "apud censores" is quoted by Cicero _Orat_. 70.233.
[588] Plutarch says (C. _Gracch_. 2) that Caius [Greek: _aitaesamenos logon outo metestaese tas gnomes ton akousanton, hos apelthein haedikaesthai ta megista doxas_]. The pa.s.sage seems to imply acquittal by the censors, although [Greek: _ton akousanton_] suggests the larger audience. The arguments cited by Plutarch as developed by Caius appeared, or were repeated, in the speech that he subsequently made before the people.
