[Footnote 456: Milo impeached by Clodius before the _comitia tributa_ for his employment of gladiators. Dio (xxxix. 18) says that Clodius thus impeached Milo, not with any hope of securing his conviction against the powerful support of Cicero and Pompey, but to get the chance of insulting these latter. Marcellus was one of the candidates for the ædileship with Clodius. See Letter XCI.] [Footnote 457: In B.C. 129, after making a speech in favour of the claims of the Italians for exemption from the agrarian law of Gracchus, Scipio Æmilianus, the younger Africanus, was found dead in his bed. The common report was that he had been assassinated by Carbo, or with his privity, but it was never proved (see _de Orat._ ii. § 170). Cicero does not here assume the truth of the story, he merely repeats Pompey's words.] [Footnote 458: M. Tullius Albinovanus. It was on this charge _de vi_ that Cicero defended Sestius in the extant speech. The charge of bribery does not appear to have been proceeded with.] [Footnote 459: _Adlegatos_, probably commissioners named to receive and report on a deposition of an informer before the senate acted.] [Footnote 460: L. Calpurnius Piso Bestia, a candidate in the last election of ædiles.] [Footnote 461: Cn. Domitius Calvinus, consul B.C. 53. In the Civil War he sided with Pompey, and perished at sea after Thapsus (B.C. 46).] [Footnote 462: _Ad lucum Pisonis_. The place is not known, but there is not sufficient reason for the change to _ad lacum Pisonis_, a place equally unknown.] [Footnote 463: A part of Rome on the slope of the Mons Oppius.] [Footnote 464: _I.e._, get out of it as soon as you can.] CII (F I, 5 b) TO P.
