[103]
After this violation of all religious observances, you
hasten off to the estate of Marcus Varro, a most conscientious and upright man,
at Casinum. By what right? with
what face do you do this? By just the same, you will say, as that by which you
entered on the estates of the heirs of Lucius Rubrius, or of the heirs of Lucius
Turselius, or of other innumerable possessions. If you got the right from any
auction, let the auction have all the force to which it is entitled; let
writings be of force, provided they are the writings of Caesar, and not your
own; writings by which you are bound, not those by which you have released
yourself from obligation.
