cuiquam, for anything. alter consul designatus: Q. Caecilius Metellus Creticus (see sect. 21). The three brothers, fast friends of Verres, were so situated as to promise the greatest help the next year, when Quintus would be consul, and Marcus praetor, presiding over the court of Repetundae, while Lucius was already pro-praetor in Sicily. Some of the Sicilians, therefore, obeyed the summons of Metellus, although they had disregarded that of Hortensius (sect. 25). The object of Metellus was to induce the Sicilians to withdraw the suit, or at any rate to refrain from appearing as witnesses. quaesiturum (technical term), was to preside over the court.
