| Context | Discussion of Appius' obligations towards Cicero; Cicero relieves him of them, but combines this with this quotation emphasising that he has other friends = veiled criticism/threat? |
| Comments | Iliad I.174 (Agamamnon replies to Achilles). Shackleton Bailey identifies Zeus 'standing at [Cicero's] side' with Pompey i.e. Cicero reminds Appius that he has friends in high places. NB Cicero's comment at end of letter: "I have writen rather frankly". |
