Perseus...

I’m trying to use the Perseus Lookup Tool (find Latin words in context) to search for the following phrase:

“huic causae patronus exstiti”

in the following works:

M. Tullius Cicero, De Oratore.
M. Tullius Cicero, Epistulae ad Familiares.
M. Tullius Cicero, Letters to and from Brutus.
M. Tullius Cicero, Letters to and from Quintus.
M. Tullius Cicero, Letters to Atticus.
M. Tullius Cicero, Orationes.
M. Tullius Cicero, Orationes.
M. Tullius Cicero, Orationes.
M. Tullius Cicero, Orationes.
M. Tullius Cicero, Orationes.
M. Tullius Cicero, Orationes.

i.e. all of Cicero. But when I press the search button nothing at all happens!

This is probably a java problem at my end or something. If anyone could find out where the phrase comes from I’d be extremely grateful.

Thucydides

from Cicero’s defence of Roscius, chap. 5.

Thanks… but which Roscius? Q. Roscius or Sextus Roscius?

Could you give me a URL?

good point.

sextus.

according to the Perseus numbering, chap. III:
