Note 182 — CICERO'S LETTERS TO ATTICUS BOOK XIII (continued 2)
Eric Otto Winstedt translation
In a letter of about the same date to Gallus (Ad Fam. VII. 24) Cicero says, Cipius, opinor, olim "non omnibus dormio"; sic ego non omnibus, mi Galle, servio. It is explained that Cipius used to shut his eyes to his wife's barefaced amours in his presence; but when a servant, thinking him asleep, stole a cup before his eyes, he woke up with this remark.
