Marcus Tullius Cicero,
Letters to Atticus — 1.2 (XI)
“ Footnotes ↑ Asconius assigns this to the accusation of embezzlement in Africa. But that seems to have been tried in the previous year, or earlier in his year. The new impeachment threatened seems to have been connected with his crimes in the proscriptions of Sulla (Dio, 37.10) . Cicero may have thought of defending him on a charge relating to so distant a period, just as he did Rabirius on the charge of murdering Saturninus (B.C. 100) , though he had regarded his guilt in the case of extortion in Africa as glaring. ”
