Note 463 — LIFE OF C. CÆSAR.
George Long translation
Cicero wrote his book on his Consulship B.C. 60, in which year Cæsar was elected consul, and it was published at that time. Cæsar was then rising in power, and Cicero was humbled. It would be as well for him to say nothing on this matter which Plutarch alludes to (Ad Attic. ii. 1).
Cicero wrote first a prose work on his consulship in Greek (Ad Attic. i. 19), and also a poem in three books in Latin hexameters (Ad Attic. ii. 3).
