Note 123 — CICERO'S LETTERS TO ATTICUS BOOK XIII
Eric Otto Winstedt translation
M. Marcellus, consul in 51 B.C. and a partisan of Pompey, had just been murdered by M. Magius Cibo at Athens out of jealousy for the favour shown him by Caesar, who had granted him permission to return to Rome, an event celebrated in Cicero's speech Pro Marcello. Servius' letter is preserved, Ad Fam. IV. 12, and gives full details of the murder. Cf. also Att. XIII. 10.
