I imagine that you have heard, O Romans, what has been done in the senate and
what has been the opinion delivered by each individual. For the matter which has
been in discussion ever since the first of January, has been just brought to a
conclusion; with less severity indeed than it ought to have been, but still in a
manner not altogether unbecoming. The war has been subjected to a delay, but the
cause has not been removed. Wherefore, as to the question which Publius
Appuleius,—a man united to me by many kind offices and by the closest
intimacy, and firmly attached to your interests—has asked me, I will
answer in such a manner that you may be acquainted with the transactions at
which you were not present.
