But I claim
permission to manage this distribution myself, as due to my connection and
intimacy with his father. He will buy back the villas, the houses, and some of
the estates in the city which Antonius is in possession of. For, as for the
silver plate, the garments, the furniture, and the wine which that glutton has
made away with, those things he will lose without forfeiting his equanimity. The
Alban and Firmian villas he will
recover from Dolabella; the Tusculan villa he will also recover from Antonius.
And these Ansers who are joining in the attack on Mutina and in the blockade of Decimus
Brutus will be driven from his Falernian villa. There are many others, perhaps,
who will be made to disgorge their plunder, but their names escape my memory. I
say, too, that those men who are not in the number of our enemies, will be made
to restore the possessions of Pompeius to his son for the price at which they
bought them.
