“Cum ā mē quoque id respōnsum tulissēs — mē nūllō modō posse īsdem parietibus tūtō esse tēcum, quī magnō in perīculō essem quod īsdem moenibus continērēmur — ad Q. Metellum praetōrem vēnistī. When you also received that reply from me — that I could in no way be safe within the same house [walls] with you, because I was in great danger given that we were held within the same city walls — you went to Quintus Metellus, the praetor. (Exemplifies synecdoche, a form of metonymy, in the contrast of parietibus and moenibus.)”
