[54]
For Lucius Flaccus, a man most
undeserving of the disgrace of being your lieutenant, and more worthy of
those counsels by which he was united with me in my consulship for the
salvation of the republic, was with me when some one came and said that you
had been seen wandering not far from the gate with your house. I know, too,
that one of the very bravest of men, a man skillful both in war and in civil
business, an intimate friend of mine, Quintus Marcius, one of those
lieutenants whose “Imperator” you had been called in battle, when you were
in reality a long way off, was at the time of your arrival sitting quietly
in his own house.
