when Lucius Tubero, my intimate friend, who had been lieutenant to my
brother, had come to me on his return from Asia, and had revealed to me in the most friendly spirit
the treacherous designs which he heard were formed against me by the
banished conspirators, and when I was preparing therefore to go into
Asia on account of the
connection subsisting between that province and my brother and myself, he
would not allow me to depart. He, Plancius, I say, detained me by force and
by a close embrace, and for many months never departed from me, discarding
his character as a quaestor and assuming that of my companion.
