To C. Trebatius Testa (at Rome)
(?) Tusculum, June, 44 B.C.
You jeered at me yesterday amidst our cups, for having said that it was a
disputed point whether an heir could lawfully prosecute on an embezzlement
which had been committed before he became the owner. Accordingly, though I
returned home full of wine and late in the evening, I marked the section in
which that question is treated and caused it to be copied out and sent to you.
I wanted to convince you that the doctrine which you said was held by no one
was maintained by Sextus Aelius, Manius Manilius, Marcus Brutus. Nevertheless,
I concur with Scaevola and Testa.
