And, to
say nothing of the other parts of Gaul
(for they are all alike), the people of Patavium have excluded some men who were sent to them by
Antonius, and have driven out others, and have assisted our generals with money
and soldiers, and with what was above all things wanting, arms. The rest have
done the same; even those who formerly were of the party of Antonius, and who
were believed to have been alienated from the senate by the injuries of many
years. Men, who indeed there is no great reason to wonder at being faithful now,
after the freedom of the republic has been shared with them, when, even before
they had been admitted to those privileges, they always behaved with loyalty and
good faith.
