June 44 BCE: To Gaius Trebatius Testa (at Rome?) from Cicero (at Tusculum?)
Not even inebriation can stop Cicero from arguing about The Law
You mocked me yesterday while we were drinking, because I said it is a point of contention whether an heir can do right in the case of theft, when the theft was committed before they took possession of the inheritance.1 And so, although I returned home drunk, and late, I still have made a note of the chapter about that point of contention, and have sent you a copy of it, so you can understand that the opinion you said no-one held, was held by Sextus Aelius, Manius Manilius, and Marcus Brutus.2 But I still agree with Scaevola and Testa.
