CHAPTER X
New Troubles brewing--Mithridates forms an Alliance with Sertorius and prepares for War--Makes a Speech to his Troops--Invades Bithynia

power. The next year the people, in order to pay court to Sulla, chose him
consul again, but he refused the office and nominated Servilius Isauricus
and Claudius Pulcher for their suffrages, and voluntarily laid down the
supreme power, although nobody was troubling him. This act seems wonderful
