Note 719 — CLXXX (F III, 1)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
Brother of Cicero's enemy, P. Clodius. He had been consul in B.C. 54, and was now proconsul in Cilicia, in which government Cicero was to succeed him. His relations with Cicero had been varied, and though Cicero speaks warmly to him, he does not do so often of him, and his compliments are evidently not really sincere.
