produced and opened which he said had been given to him for Catiline, by Lentulus. And though

whom I have sent to you: take care to behave like a man, and consider to what place you have
proceeded, and provide for what is now necessary for you: take care to associate to yourself
the assistance of every one, even of the powerless.” Then Gabinius being
introduced, when at first he had begun to answer impudently, at last denied nothing of those
things which the Gauls alleged against him.
