Note 67 — TRANSLATION
Clayton Morris Hall translation
L. Philippus, as late as the middle of the ensuing June, was still not at all sanguine of Octavius’ prospects, but thought that nothing ought to be entrusted to him, after having taken due regard for his age, his name, his inheritance, and his training (Cic., Att., 15, 12, 2). With respect to the advice of Philippus against the assumption by Octavius of the name Caesar, see Cicero’s comment, on April 22 (Att. 14, 12, 2): ‘Octavius, quem quidem sui Caesarem salutabant, Philippus non, itaque ne nos quidem.’ See also Suet., Aug. 8; App. 3, 11; Vell. 2, 60, 1.
