Frank Frost Abbott, Commentary on Selected Letters of Cicero, Letter LXXXVI: ad familiares 11.1 (search)
ntr. 40). M. Junius Brutus, who is addressed (cf. Bruto suo), had espoused the cause of Pompey in the Civil War (cf. Att. 11.4.2), but was subsequently pardoned by Caesar and made governor of Gallia Cisalina (cf. Ep. LXV.10n.). At the time of Caesar's assassination he was praetor. C. Cassius Longinus (cf. Cassio), as proquaestor of Syria, while Cicero was governor of Cilicia, carried on a brilliant campaign against the Parthians (cf. quo recesstsse, Ep. XXXIV.7n.). He supported Pompey in 49 B.C. , but was subsequently pardoned by Caesar and made one of his legates (cf. Ep. LXV. To n.). At the time of Caesar's death he was praetor. Hirtius: consul with Pansa in 43 B.C. Cf. Ep. LXI. 7. infidelissima: this unusual superlative Cicero himself uses in Ep. LX. 2. provinciam: i.e. Gallia Cisalpina. aiebat : sc. Antonius. mediocre auxilium dignitatis : with especial reference to se provinciam dare posse, above. Caesar's assignment of Gallia Cisalpina to D. Brutus was, however, rat

vetustas: Cicero had apparently known Matius for twenty years or more; cf. next note. tuus deinde discessus: on deinde cf. Intr. 85b. The reference is to the absence of Matius from Rome at some time prior to Cicero's candidacy for the consulship; cf. ambitio nostra. vitae dissimilitudo: Matius apparently never entered public life. conglutinari: the metaphorical use of the word is frequent in Cicero. Brundisium versus: cf. ad Alpis versus, Ep. XLVIII.2n. venisti in Formianum: sc. Mar.19, 49 B.C. ; cf. Att. 9.11.2. Caesar himself entered Brundisium Mar. 18. consili: Matius earnestly desired peace and without doubt encouraged Cicero in his efforts at mediation; cf. Att. 9. II. 2. Trebulano: in Campania; but Cicero's memory is very likely at fault, as he probably has in mind the messages which he received from Matius from Minturnae on Mar.20; cf. Att. 9.12.1. pudor meus sive officium : cf. Intr. 30 (end) and Ep. LXV. 6. praesentis meos: his family in Rome. veni Brundisium: after the

Letter XCIX: ad familiares 11.12 Rome, about May 13, 43 B.C. For the movements of D. Brutus after Antony's defeat near Mutina, cf. Ep. XCVIII. introd. note. tres epistulas: sc. Fam. 11.9, 10, and 11, written April 29, May 5, and May 6 respectively. Flacco Volumnio, T. Vibi, Graecei: little more is known of these men than we gather from this letter. Lupus : probably P. Rutilius Lupus, who was praetor in 49 B.C. , and was probably at this time the legate of D. Brutus, in whose letters he is frequently mentioned. litteris : apparently in a plural sense here, as several times in Cicero, e.g. accipio excusationem tuam, qua usus es, cur saepius ad me litteras uno exemplo (of the same tenor) dedisses, Fam. 4.4.1; raras tuas quidem--fortasse enim non perferuntur, sed suaves accipio litteras, Fam. 2.13.1. Cf. also Ep. XI.1. In strict usage litterae has always the singular meaning, unless the distributive adjective is added to it, as binas a te accepi litteras, Fam. 4.14.1. Cicero hims
