Sextus
Alphenus, the agent of Publius Quinctius, the intimate friend and relation of Sextus
Naevius, tears down the bills; carries off one little slave whom Naevius had laid hold
of; gives notice that he is the agent, and that it is only fair that that fellow should
consult the fame and fortunes of Publius Quinctius, and await his arrival. But if he
would not do so, and believed that by such methods he could bring him into the
conditions which he proposed, then he asked nothing as a favour, and if Naevius chose to
go to law, he would defend him at the trial.
