The combination of different
details is called μεταβολὴν by Caecilius, and may be
exemplified by the following passage directed against
Oppianicus in the pro Cluentio:1 “The local senate
were unanimously of opinion that he had falsified the
public registers at Larinum; no one would have any
business dealings or make any contract with him,
no one out of all his numerous relations and kinsfolk
ever appointed him as guardian to his children,”
with much more to the same effect.
