Book 1 , Chapter 53
Aspendum vetus oppidum et nobile in Pamphylia scitis esse , plenissimum signorum optimorum . non dicam illinc hoc signum ablatum esse et illud : hoc dico , nullum te Aspendi signum , Verres , reliquisse , omnia ex fanis , ex locis publicis , palam , spectantibus omnibus , plaustris [ Note ] evecta exportataque esse . atque etiam illum Aspendium citharistam , de quo saepe audistis id quod est Graecis [ Note ] hominibus in proverbio , quem omnia ' intus [ Note ] canere ' dicebant , sustulit et in intimis suis aedibus posuit , ut etiam illum ipsum suo artificio [ Note ] superasse videatur .
Book 1 , Chapter 54
Pergae fanum antiquissimum et sanctissimum Dianae scimus esse : id quoque a te nudatum ac spoliatum esse , ex ipsa Diana quod habebat auri detractum atque ablatum esse dico . quae , malum , est ista tanta audacia atque amentia ! quas enim sociorum atque amicorum urbis adisti legationis iure et nomine , si in eas [ Note ] vi cum exercitu imperioque invasisses , tamen , opinor , quae signa atque [ Note ] ornamenta ex iis [ Note ] urbibus sustulisses , haec non in tuam domum neque in suburbana amicorum , sed Romam in publicum deportasses .
Book 1 , Chapter 55
quid ego de M . Marcello loquar , qui Syracusas , urbem ornatissimam , cepit ? quid de L . Scipione , qui bellum in Asia gessit Antiochumque , regem potentissimum , vicit ? quid de Flaminino , qui regem Philippum et Macedoniam subegit ? quid de L . Paulo [ Note ] , qui regem Persen vi ac virtute superavit ? quid de L . Mummio , qui urbem pulcherrimam atque ornatissimam , Corinthum , plenissimam rerum omnium , sustulit , urbisque Achaiae Boeotiaeque multas sub imperium populi Romani dicionemque subiunxit ? quorum domus , cum honore ac virtute florerent , signis et tabulis pictis erant vacuae ; at vero urbem totam templaque [ Note ] deorum omnisque Italiae partis illorum donis ac monumentis exornatas videmus .

ACTUAL TRANSLATIONS
Book 1 , Chapter 53
You know that Aspendus is an ancient and noble town in Pamphylia , full of very fine statues . I do not say that one statue or another was taken away from thence : this I say , that you , O Verres , left not one statue at Aspendus ; that everything from the temples and from all public places was openly seized and carried away on wagons , the citizens all looking on . And he even carried off that harp-player of Aspendus , of whom you have often heard the saying , which is a proverb among the Greeks , who used to say that he could sing everything within himself , and put him in the inmost part of his own house , so as to appear to have surpassed the statue itself in trickery .
Book 1 , Chapter 54
At Perga , we are aware that there is a very ancient and very holy temple of Diana . That too , I say , was stripped and plundered by you ; and all the gold which there was on Diana herself was taken off and carried away . What , in the name of mischief , can such audacity and inanity mean ? In the very cities of our friends and allies , which you visited under the pretext of your office as a lieutenant , if you had stormed them by force with an army , and had exercised military rule there ; still , I think , the statues and ornaments which you took away , you would have carried , not to your own house , nor to the suburban villas of your friends , but to Rome for the public use .
Book 1 , Chapter 55
Why should I speak of Marcus Marcellus , who took Syracuse , that most beautiful city ? why of Lucius Scipio , who waged war in Asia , and conquered Antiochus , a most powerful monarch ? why of Flaminius , who subdued Philip the king , and Macedonia ? why of Lucius Paullus , who with his might and valor conquered king Perses ? why of Lucius Mummius , who overthrew that most beautiful and elegant city Corinth , full of all sorts of riches , and brought many cities of Achaia and Boeotia under the empire and dominion of the Roman people ? —their houses , though they were rich in virtue and honor , were empty of statues and paintings . But we see the whole city , the temples of the gods , and all parts of Italy , adorned with their gifts , and with memorials of them .

OUR TRANSLATIONS
Book 1 , Chapter 53
You know that Apsendus is a town in Pamphylia , long-standing and well-born , crowded with pleasant statues . I say by no means was a statue or another taken from there . I say this , that you , Verres , left no statue in Apsendus , all were openly taken from the public places and temple and carried out on wagons . And also that cithara player of Apsendus was carried off , of whom you have frequently heard his saying which is a saying around the Greeks , who had said that he could sing all within him so that it would seem to have done the statue itself in guile .
Book 1 , Chapter 54
We know that there is an aged and consecrated temple of Dianna in Perga . I say that likewise it was laid bare and robbed by you , even all of the gold on Dianna herself was removed and stolen . What , wickedness , could so much recklessness and craziness mean ! In the very cities of our allies and friends , which you entered under the title of your duty of ambassador if with an army you invaded them by violence and enforced supreme power there . Nevertheless , I believe , the statues and decorations you stole , you would not have brought them not to your own dwelling , nor to the country houses of your friends , but to Rome among the public view .
Book 1 , Chapter 55
Why should I mention Manius Marcellus , who captured Syracuse the most richly adorned city ? Why should I speak of Lucius Scipio , who waged war in Asia and captured Antiochus , the most powerful king ? Why should I talk about Flaminius , who conquered Macedonia , and Philip the king ? Why should I utter about Lucius Paulo , who with his strength and power overcame the king of Persia ? Why should I speak of Lucius Mummius , who overthrew Corinth , the most illustrious and honored city , full of all things , and subdued numerous cities of Achaia and Boeotia under the authority and dominion of the Roman people ? Their houses , which flourish with grace and power , were vacant of statues and painted tablets . Whereas in truth we see the whole city and the god’s temples , and all of Italy’s parts that are furnished with gifts and memorials .
