As soon as they can get access to her, the men
whom I have mentioned go to her. Mustius speaks, he explains the whole affair, he
begs for her assistance, he promises money. She answers, considering she was a
prostitute, not unreasonably: she says that she will gladly do what they wish, and
that she will talk the matter over with Verres carefully; and desires Mustius to
come again. Then they depart. The next day they go again. She says that the man
cannot be prevailed on, that he says that a vast sum can be made of the business.
