Cic••ro to Caius Clu••ius. Epist. 7.
WHen, vpon your departure for Gallia, moued by our inter∣changed affection, and the great respect you beare me; you came home to visit me. I spake with you about the A••el∣lani, who pay tribute for that part of their Countie which lies in Gallia; in∣timating vnto you, how neerely I was touched with their interest's. And af∣ter your departure, the matter being such, as it mainly imported a towne of that worth, and which I so much e∣steemed; being confident in your good inclination towards me, I thought my selfe obliged, to write vnto you thero•• with all possible diligence. Though I am not ignorant, either of the conditi∣on of the times, or of your power.
