For who ever was a more bitter enemy to
another than Caesar was to Deiotarus? He was as hostile to him as he was to this
order, to the equestrian order, to the people of Massilia, and to all men whom he knew to look on the republic
of the Roman people with attachment. But this man, who neither present nor
absent could ever obtain from him any favor or justice while he was alive,
became quite an influential man with him when he was dead. When present with him
in his house, he had called for him though he was his host, he had made him give
in his accounts of his revenue, he had exacted money from him; he had
established one of his Greek retainers in his tetrarchy, and he had taken
Armenia from him, which had been
given to him by the senate. While he was alive he deprived him of all these
things; now that he is dead, he gives them back again.
