Itaque ad adventum imperatorum de foro decesserat, timens proscriptionem, latebatque apud P. Volumnium, cui, ut ostendimus, paulo ante opem tulerat'tanta varietas iis temporibus fuit fortunae, ut modo hi, modo illi in summo essent aut fastigio aut periculo'habebatque secum Q. Gellium Canum, aequalem simillimumque sui.
Therefore, on the eve of the arrival of the triumvirs he had retired from public life, fearing proscription, and was in hiding at the house of Publius Volumnius, to whom, as I have stated, he had shortly before rendered aid'such were the changes of fortune in those times that now these, now those, were at the summit of power or the extremity of danger'and he had with him Quintus Gellius Canus, a man of his own age and of very similar opinions.
