Note 311 — LXI (F XIV, 4)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
If Cicero's property was confiscated, it might be held that the slaves went with it, and would be sold with it, and that his manumission of them was an evasion, which could not hold good at law. If his property was not confiscated, they were to remain in their status as slaves. See Letter CXCII.
