Note 86 — CICERO IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIFE (continued 2)
Adnah David Jones translation
It is not probable that Cicero wronged his creditors like Milo, who only gave them 4 per cent. When he left Rome after the death of Caesar, Cicero wrote to Atticus that the money that was owing him would suffice to pay his debts; but as at that moment money was scarce and debtors held off, he ordered him to sell his goods, if necessary, and added: “Consult only my reputation.” Ad Att. xvi. 2.
