Reading notes
- Ad Familiares 10.17 §3 L. Gellius gave me proof of his zeal
L. Gellius Publicola, who served Plancus here as an intermediary to Lepidus; the same man is later remembered as a turncoat who deserted the Liberators. The Latin of this clause is corrupt (daggered), and the words "from the three brothers Segavianus" are unintelligible.
