[13]
When the auction of the inheritance was appointed to take place, Aebutius, who had long been
supported by Caesennia though a widowed and solitary woman, and who had insinuated himself
into her confidence by the system of undertaking (not without some profit to himself) all the
business which the woman had to transact, and all her disputes —was employed at that
time also in this transaction of selling and dividing the property. And he always pushed and
thrust himself in in such a way as to make Caesennia of opinion, that she, being a woman
unskilled in business, could not get on well in any matter in which Aebutius was not
concerned.
