And even this virtue of Publius Sulla appears to me to be
one which ought not to be passed over in silence;—that though that colony was
originally settled by him, and though the fortune of the Roman people has separated the
interests of the settlers from the fortunes of the native citizens of Pompeii, he is still so
popular among, and so much beloved by both parties, that he seems not so much to have
dispossessed the one party of their lands as to have settled both of them in that country.
