60. ὁ οὖν Πομπήιος ὅ τε Κράσσος ὑπάτευόν τε ἔτι, καὶ ὁ μὲν ἑαυτῷ βοηθῶν, ὁ δὲ τήν τε ἐκείνου [p. 396] χάριν καὶ ἅμα καὶ χρήματα παρὰ τοῦ Γαβινίου πεμφθέντα οἱ λαβών, ἔκ τε τοῦ προφανοῦς ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ διεδικαίουν, καὶ ἄλλα τε καὶ φυγάδα τὸν Κικέρωνα ἀποκαλοῦντες οὐδὲν ἐπεψήφισαν. [2] ὡς μέντοι ἐκεῖνοί τε ἐκ τῆς ἀρχῆς ἀπηλλάγησαν καὶ αὐτοὺς ὅ τε Δομίτιος ὁ Λούκιος καὶ Ἄππιος Κλαύδιος διεδέξαντο, γνῶμαι αὖθις πολλαὶ ἐλέχθησαν, καὶ κατὰ τοῦ Γαβινίου αἱ πλείους ἐγένοντο: [3] ὅ τε γὰρ Δομίτιος ἐχθρὸς τῷ Πομπηίῳ διά τε τὸ σπουδαρχῆσαι καὶ διὰ ¹ τὸ παρὰ γνώμην αὐτοῦ ἀποδειχθῆναι ὤν, καὶ ὁ Κλαύδιος, καίπερ προσήκων οἱ, ὅμως ² τοῖς τε πολλοῖς χαρίσασθαί τι ὑπὸ δημαγωγίας ἐθελήσας, καὶ παρὰ τοῦ Γαβινίου δωροδοκήσειν, ἄν γέ τι συνταράξῃ, [4] προσδοκήσας, πάντα ἐπ᾽ ³ αὐτῷ ἔπραξαν. καὶ αὐτὸν καὶ ἐκεῖνο δεινῶς ἐπίεσεν, ⁴ ὅτι προπεμφθέντα τινὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ Κράσσου ὑποστράτηγον ἐπὶ τῇ τῆς ἀρχῆς αὐτοῦ διαδοχῇ οὐκ ἐδέξατο, ἀλλ᾽ ὥσπερ ἀθάνατον τὴν ἡγεμονίαν εἰληφὼς κατεῖχεν αὐτήν. ἔδοξεν οὖν σφισι τὰ τῆς Σιβύλλης ἔπη ἀναγνωσθῆναι, καίπερ ⁵ ἀντειπόντος ⁶ τοῦ Πομπηίου.
