THE SIXTH ORATION OF M. T. CICERO AGAINST MARCUS ANTONIUS. CALLED ALSO THE SIXTH PHILIPPIC. ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE.
Although, O conscript fathers, it seems very unbecoming for that man whose
counsels you have so often adopted in the most important affairs, to be deceived
and deluded, and to commit mistakes; yet I console myself, since I made the
mistake in company with you, and in company also with a consul of the greatest
wisdom. For when two men of consular rank had brought us hope of an honorable
peace, they appeared, as being friends and extremely intimate with Marcus
Antonius, to be aware of some weak point about him with which we were
unacquainted. His wife and children are in the house of one; the other is known
every day to send letters to, to receive letters from, and openly to favor
Antonius.
