in quibus, quid esset iam Bithynia, quo modo se haberet, ecquonam mihi profuisset aere, respondi, id quod erat, nihil neque ipsis nunc praetoribus esse nec cohorti cur quisquam caput unctius referret, praesertim quibus esset irrumator praetor, nec faceret pili cohortem.
what sort of place Bithynia was now, how its affairs were going on, whether I had made any money there. I answered (what was true) that now neither praetors themselves nor their staff can find any means of coming back fatter than they went, especially as they had such a beast for a praetor, a fellow who did not care a straw for his subalterns.
