A quo mox consule ingens etiam congiarium accepit, ut ei in Philippicis Cicero obicit: Adhibes ioci causa magistrum, suffragio tuo et compotorum tuorum rhetorem, cui concessisti ut in te quae vellet diceret, salsum omnino hominem, sed materia facilis in te et in tuos dicta dicere.
When Antony presently became consul, Clodius received from him an enormous gift, as Cicero charges against Antony in his Philippics: For the sake of his jokes you employ a schoolmaster, elected a rhetorician by your vote and those of your pot-companions, and you have allowed him to say anything he likes about you; a witty fellow, no doubt, but it is not a hard matter to say clever things of you and your mates.
