| Context | Cicero describes how he is to write in code in his letters. |
| Comments | Shackleton Bailey: cf. VI.7.2 (120) where Cicero refers to letters written ἐν αἰνιγμοῖς. In extended passages of Greek to which Cicero refers with this description (VI.4.3 (118) and VI.5.1–2 (119)), "names are replaced by riddling periphrases". |
