one part of the three, which are to iudge; but by them all: and by all sen∣tences he is absolued. Oh! will you say; speake you in good earnest? 'tis as I tell you. None would haue beleeued it, and it seemes a thing very strange. I, who grea••ly desired, for the amitie be∣twixt vs, his absolution, rather prepa∣red my selfe to condole with him: but seeing sentence past, in his fauour, I was altogether a••tonished, & it seemed to me a miracle: Then imagine, vvhat it seemed to others. With great excla∣mations the iudges replied, shewing ••uidently, that it was not a thing to be supported. Whereupon, though he be ••ree'd by the Law Licinia, he seemes to be fallen into a greater danger. Withall, the day after the said absolution, Hor∣tensius presented himselfe in Curio's Theater, as I thinke to be seene, and because we should reioyce with him in his ioyes.

Marcus Octauius, sonne to Cneius, and Caius Hirrus, are competit••rs with me, in the petition for the Aedileship: the one is really noble; the other pretends to be noble, but is not. I was desirous to write this, to put you into greater expectation of the issue, hearing that Hirrus is my concurrent. Neuerthelesse as soone as you are aduertised of my creation, I pray, remember the Pan∣••hers, and to procure Sitius to pay me. I gaue to Lucius Castrinius Paeto, the first volume of the matters of Rome; the se∣cond, to him that brings you these. Farewell.
