Question 3

Ibi te cum et illius largitionibus et tuis rapinis explevisses, si hoc est explere, haurire, quod statim effundas, advolasti egens ad tribunatum, ut in eo magistratu, si posses, viri tui similis esses.

Answer 3

There when you have satisfied your demands for lavish gifts of Caesar and your plunders, if this is satisfied you pour out immediately what you have drained, you flew to tribuneship, needy, so that in that magistracy if you could, like your man, you might be in this office.
