For Malleolus
had started for his province so splendidly equipped that he left actually nothing
behind him at home. Besides, he had put out a great deal of money among the
provincials, and had taken bills from them. He had taken with him a great quantity
of admirably embossed silver plate. For he, too, was a companion of that fellow
Verres in that disease and in that covetousness; and so he left behind him at his
death a great quantity of silver plate, a great household of slaves, many workmen,
many beautiful youths. That fellow seized all the plate that took his fancy; carried
off all the slaves he chose; carried off the wines and all the other things which
are procured most easily in Asia, which he
had left behind: the rest he sold, and took the money himself.
