We cannot but think that he was a poor creature, and can fancy that he had lived a wretched life during all the murders of the Sullan proscriptions.

But in his abject misery he had found his way up among the great friends of his family at Rome, and had there been charged with the parricide, because Chrysogonus and the Tituses began to be afraid of what these great friends might do.
This is the story as Cicero has been able to tell it in his speech.
Beyond that, we only know that the man was acquitted.

Whether he got back part of his father's property there is nothing to inform us.
Whether further inquiry was made as to the murder; whether evil befell those two Tituses or Chrysogonus was made to disgorge, there has been no one to inform us.

The matter was of little importance in Rome, where murders and organized robberies of the kind were the common incidents of every-day life.

History would have meddled with nothing so ordinary had not it happened that the case fell into the hands of a man so great a master of his language that it has been worth the while of ages to perpetuate the speech which he made in the matter.
