He sent letters about the steward of Publius Septimius, a man of great accomplishments,
which steward had committed murder. You might have seen Septimius burning with anger. He

men? or has Flaccus any personal hostility of any sort with your freedmen? or do you hate his
severity when displayed in your own causes, and in those of your freedmen, though you praise
impartiality when it is we who are on our trial?
