Marcus Tullius Cicero,
Letters to Atticus — 3.1 (LVIII)
“ Wherefore I beg you to do your best to overtake me promptly, which will be easier for you to do since the law about the province of Macedonia has now been passed. [1] I would urge you at greater length were it not that with you facts speak for me. Footnotes ↑ One of Clodius's concessions to the consuls, to keep them quiet, was to get Macedonia assigned by a lex to L. Calpurnius Piso. As Atticus lived in what was practically part of the province, and had much business there, it was important to him to be on the spot, and try to influence the choice of a governor. ”
