1Because I myself, when I have learnt the beginning of a story, long to join on the end, as if it had been torn off, I think that you too want to learn the rest about Varenus and the Bithynians. 1The case was pleaded by Polyaenus on one side and by Magnus on the other. 2When the pleadings were over, Caesar said: 'Neither party shall complain of delay; 2I shall make it my concern to find out the wishes of the province.' 3Meanwhile Varenus has gained a great deal. 3For how doubtful it is whether a man is justly accused, when it is uncertain whether he is accused at all!
3It remains only that the province should not again approve what it is said to have condemned, and repent of its repentance. 3Farewell.
