man of considerable ability; and, although he never reached the consulship, he was aedile in 65 and praetor in 62 B.C. At first he was inclined to attach himself to Pompey, and in 57 B.C. served as the latter's legatus in Sardinia, Q. fr. 2.2.1. but three years later he joined Caesar in Gaul and took part in the invasion of Britain. In the civil war, after some hesitation, he espoused the cause of Pompey, but after the battle of Pharsalus he sought and obtained pardon from Caesar. In 43 B.C. he was proscribed with Marcus and put to death.

65. The earliest letter (Att. 1.5) in the correspondence was written in 68 B.C.; the latest (Fam. 10.24), a letter from Plancus to Cicero, bears the date of July 28, 43 B.C. Cicero's last extant letter (Fam. 10.29) was written July 6, 43 B.C. The correspondence with Atticus closes with Att. 1.6.15 in Dec. 44 B.C. The fact that 43 B.C. The correspondence with Atticus closes with Att. 1.6.15 in Dec. 44 B.C. The fact that the extant correspondence stops several months before his death is probably due to the circumstance that the attitude of Octavius changed in the summer of 43 B.C., and Cicero's letters after that date were not published because of the strictures they contained upon the conduct of Octavius.

Licinius Sacerdos, plebeians (cf. Ascon. argum. to Or. in toga cand.). qui nunc petunt, who are candidates this year. Caesar: L. Julius Caesar, uncle of Antony the triumvir, and, by the second marriage of his sister Julia, brother-in-law of Lentulus, the Catilinarian conspirator. He tried unsuccessfully to mediate in 43 B.C. between the senate and Antony (Phil. 8.1). He was placed by Antony upon the list of the proscribed in return for the consent of Octavius to the murder of Cicero, and escaped death only through the devotion of his sister Julia. certus: here' sure to win.'

Letter X: ad Atticum 3.4 Vibo, about April 12,58 B.C. The letters of this third book, ad Att., written in exile, expose perhaps more than any other portion of his correspondence, the weak side of Cicero's character. He is unmanly, selfish, and ungrateful. In contrast the letters of 44 and 43 B.C. breathe a spirit of unfailing courage and unselfish patriotism. It is only when two such epochs in Cicero's life are placed side by side that the reader can discover the true key to his character, which is to be found in the fact that he was peculiariy sensitive to his surroundings, and was exalted or depressed by circumstances which would have had no abiding influence upon a more phlegmatic nature (cf. Intr. 50). Without waiting to see what action would be taken upon the bill of Clodius, which did not mention him by name (qui civem Romanum indemnatum interemisset, ei aqua et igni interdiceretur, Vell. Paterc. 2.45), Cicero left Rome about March 20, 58 B.C. , and went to his friend Sica,

d (Q. fr. 3.4.1) through the efforts of Pompey, his political master. Cicero was induced by Pompey and Caesar to defend him when he came up for trial under the second charge, but he was convicted (pro Rabir. Post. 20, 32 f.). Gabinius had assisted Clodius in securing Cicero's exile, for which action Cicero attacked him fiercely; cf. pro Sest. 17 ff. In the text Cicero is speaking of the first trial. Pansa: C. Vibius Pansa, a supporter of Caesar, and picked out by him for the consulship for 43 B.C. With his colleague Hirtius he was killed in the bellum Mutinense in the spring of that year. Pansa had probably urged Cicero in Caesar 5 name to undertake the defense of Gabinius. tantum ut facerem: Cicero appeared as a witness against Gabinius in the first trial; cf.

Hisp. 2) in Nov., 46 B.C. , and the battle of Munda took place Mar. 17, 45 B.C. , i.e. only a few months after this letter was written. The difficulties in which Caesar was involved, and the imminence of the decisive contest, were doubtless known at Rome. Pansa: C. Vibius Pansa, the colleague of Hirtius in the consulship in 43 B.C. He had set out to join Caesar in Spain; cf. Schmidt, Briefw. 272. paludatus: of a soldier, as togatus is used of a civilian. The paludamentum was the cloak of a commander, the sagum the cloak of a common soldier. nuper: Cassius had lately become an Epicurean; cf.

ivil War, Sulpicius was prevented by illness from accompanying them, and, like Cicero, he hesitated long whether to maintain a neutral position or to join them. A lively correspondence upon this point passed between the two in 49 B.C. (cf. Fam. 4.1, 2). In 46 he was made governor of Achaia by Caesar (cf. Ep. LXV. 10). After the death of Caesar, in the struggle between Antony and D. Brutus, his sympathies were again upon the side of peace and compromise, and he was sent by the senate, in 43 B.C. , upon a peace embassy to Antony, who was laying siege to Mutina. While on his way thither he died. Cicero's ninth Philippic is a eulogy on him. This epistle, like the letters from Caesar, Lucceius, and Dolabella (Intr. 53), was called forth by the death of Tullia, and is perhaps the most widely known of all the letters in the correspondence of Cicero. sane quam: cf.

Letter LXXX: ad familiares 9.8 Tusculum, July 11 or 12, 45 B.C. On Varro, cf. Ep. LX. introd. note. promissi tui: Varro had promised, as early as 47 B.C. , to dedicate one of his works to Cicero; cf. Att. 13.12.3 Varro mihi denuntiaverat magnam sane et gravem prosfw/nhsin; but in 45 Cicero writes impatiently (Att. 13.12.3): biennium praeteriit, cum ille *kallipi/dhs assiduo cursu cubitum nullum processerit. Ultimately Varro's work de Lingua Latina appeared, between 45 and 43 B.C. , of which twenty books were dedicated to Cicero. quattuor admonitores: the four books of the Academica. These books, at the suggestion of Atticus, were dedicated to Varro. Cf. Att. 13.19. Cicero hoped that this might stimulate Varro to the performance of his promised work. os, effrontery; a colloquial word. Cf. Plaut. M. G. 189 os habet linguam perfidiam; Ter. Eun. 806 os durum!
