How he struggled, and in struggling perished, we shall see by-and-by.
What Cicero did as Quaestor in Sicily we have no means of knowing.

His correspondence does not go back so far.

That he was very active, and active for good, we have two testimonies, one of which is serious, convincing, and most important as an episode in his life.

The other consists simply of a good story, told by himself of himself; not intended at all for his own glorification, but still carrying with it a certain weight.

As to the first: Cicero was Quaestor in Lilybaeum in the thirty-second year of his life.
