He goes; he leaves Rome on
the twenty-ninth of January, in the Consulship of Scipio and Norbanus;—I beg
of you to remember the day. Lucius Albius the son of Sextus of the Quirine tribe, a good
man and of the highest reputation for honour, set out with him. When they had come to
the place called the fords of Volaterra, they see a great friend of Naevius, who was
bringing him some slaves from Gaul to be sold,
Lucius Publicius by name, who when he arrived in Rome told Naevius in what place he had seen Quinctius; and unless this
had been told Naevius by Publicius, the matter would not so soon have come to trial.
