Ac ne illud quidem silentio, patres conscripti, praetereundum puto quod clarissimi viri legati, L. Paul<l>us, Q. Thermus, C. Fannius, quorum habetis cognitam voluntatem in rem publicam eamque perpetuam atque constantem, nuntiant se Pompei conveniendi causa devertisse Massiliam eumque cognovisse paratissimo animo ut cum suis copiis iret ad Mutinam, ni vereretur ne veteranorum animos offenderet.
There is another point, Members of the Senate, which I think should not be passed over in silence. Our illustrious envoys, Lucius Paullus, Quintus Thermus, and Gaius Fannius, whose unflagging, steadfast patriotism you know well, report that they stopped along the way at Massilia in order to meet with Pompeius and found him perfectly ready to go to Mutina with his forces, if he were not afraid of offending the veterans.
