Note 985 — Chapter III · (691-695.)

“Many young estimable noblemen were attached to this wicked and corrupt man.” (Cicero, Oration for M. Cælius, 4.)—“He had drawn around him men perverse and audacious, at the same time that he had attached to himself numbers of virtuous and steady citizens, by the false semblances of an affected virtue.” (Cicero, ibid. 6.)
