Note 678 — CLVIII (Q FR III, 8)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
Cicero means, "the substantial gain to be got from your serving under Cæsar in Gaul is the securing of his protection in the future: all other gains, such as money etc., are merely to be regarded as securing you from immediate loss in thus going to Gaul: they don't add anything fresh to our position and prospects."
