Cicero alternates between using Latin and Greek in his defense of Milo to keep the jury's attention. He switches between the two languages in sections of 10 lines or so to maintain interest and understanding as some jurors may have been more familiar with one language over the other. Changing languages breaks up the speech and prevents any one section from becoming tiresome or difficult to follow.
