Reading notes
- Ad Quintum Fratrem 1.2 §9 Sulla your nomenclator
A nomenclator was the slave or freedman who prompted his master with the names of people he met. This Sulla, in Quintus's service, had written an objectionable letter in his master's name --- the kind of unsupervised correspondence Cicero is warning against.
