Reading notes

Ad Familiares 13.53 §1 CICERO THERMO PROPR. S.
The letter-heading. PROPR. = pro praetore, propraetor: Q. Minucius Thermus governed the province of Asia in 51-50 BC, contemporary with Cicero's neighbouring proconsulship of Cilicia. This is the first of a cluster of recommendations to him (Fam. 13.53-57).
Ad Familiares 13.54 §1 CICERO THERMO PROPR. S.
The letter-heading. PROPR. = pro praetore, propraetor of Asia (51-50 BC). One of Cicero's cluster of recommendations to Thermus (Fam. 13.53-57), this one a follow-up thanking him for favours already granted.
Ad Familiares 13.57 §1 CICERO THERMO PROPR. S.
The letter-heading. PROPR. = pro praetore, propraetor of Asia (51-50 BC). The last of Cicero's recommendation cluster to Thermus (Fam. 13.53-57); unusually it concerns Cicero's own legate, not a third-party client.
