IT IS GENERALLY ACCEPTED that Hortensius failed to deliver a speech for the defense in the actio prima of Verres' trial, and that his client Verres fled into exile before that part of his trial was concluded.' In order to maintain this view, a passage in Quintilian (Inst. 10.1.22-23) must be explained away, for when emphasizing the need for students of rhetoric to study opposing speeches in pairs wherever possible, he mentions a speech of Hortensius in Verres' defense
