- Ad Atticum 15.26 §1 Lucius Piso wants to go out on a legation by means of a forged decree of the Senate
Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, consul of 58 BC and Caesar's father-in-law; a 'free legation' (legatio libera) let a senator travel on private business with official standing, and Cicero suspects Piso of obtaining one through a falsified senatorial decree.
- Ad Atticum 16.7 §5 Piso he praised to the skies
L. Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, Caesar's father-in-law and a consular of weight, had spoken out boldly against Antony in the Senate on the first of August; Brutus admired the speech, and Cicero regrets having missed the session.
- Ad Familiares 4.4 §3 when L. Piso had made mention of M. Marcellus

- Ad Quintum Fratrem 3.1 §11 Calventius Marius's speech
An abusive nickname for L. Calpurnius Piso (cos. 58 BC), one of the consuls Cicero blamed for his exile; 'Calventius' sneers at the Insubrian-Gaulish grandfather of this enemy. The 'speech' is one Piso delivered attacking Cicero.

Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus (consul 58 BC, Caesar's father-in-law) and Quintus Fufius Calenus (consul 47 BC), the two consulars who urged the peace embassy; Cicero charges that they pleaded Antony's cause, not the public's.
- Twelfth Philippic §14 The noble saying of Lucius Piso
Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus had declared he would leave Italy rather than live under an Antony-dominated state; Cicero turns this admired sentiment back on Piso to press his own argument.
