had left behind him, and had moreover read the letters he had received
from Varus and Sabinus on this occasion, he assembled the principal persons
among the Romans together, (in which assembly Caius, the son of Agrippa,
and his daughter Julias, but by himself adopted for his own son, sat in
the first seat,) and gave the pleaders leave to speak.
