Note 101 — XXI (A I, 16)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
The reference is to Crassus. But the rest is very dark. The old commentators say that he is here called ex Nanneianis because he made a large sum of money by the property of one Nanneius, who was among those proscribed by Sulla. His calling Crassus his "panegyrist" is explained by Letter XIX, pp. 33-34.
