[79]
I do not make any
complaint against Dolabella, who was at that time acting under compulsion, and
was cajoled and deceived, But who is there who does not know with what great
perfidy both of you treated Dolabella in that business? Caesar induced him to
stand for the consulship. After having promised it to him, and pledged himself
to aid him, he prevented his getting it, and transferred it to himself. And you
endorsed his treachery with your own eagerness.
The first of January arrives. We are convened in the senate. Dolabella inveighed
against him with much more fluency and premeditation than I am doing now.
