They thought that he ought to annul only the things done to insult Caesar,and to ratify all that had been done by him.Antony acknowledged that his course was perhaps somewhat contrary to the agreements noted.The decrees also,he said, had been recorded in a sense different from the original understanding.While it was the amnesty alone which was urgent,the clause "that nothing previously resolved be repealed" was added not for the sake of this provision in itself,nor because it was entirely satisfactory in all matters of detail,but rather to promote good order. It would be more just, he added, to observe the spirit than the letter of the decree, and not to make an unseemly opposition to men who had lost their own and their ancestors' property in the civil convulsions,and to do this in favour of a young man who had received an amount of other people's wealth disproportionate to a private station and beyond his hopes,and who was not making good use of his fortune,but employing it in the rashest adventures. He would take care of them after their portion should have been separated from that of Octavian. This was the answer made by Antony. So they took their portion immediately, in order not to lose their own share by the lawsuits, and they did this not so much on their own account as on that of Octavian, for they were going to bestow the whole of it upon him soon afterward.The games were now approaching,which Gaius Antonius was about to give in behalf of Brutus as he attended also to the other duties which devolved on him in the latter's absence.Lavish expense was incurred in the preparations for them,in the hope that the people,gratified by the spectacle,would recall Brutus.Octavian trying to win the mob over to his own side,distributed the money derived from the sale of his property among the head men of the tribes by turns,to be divided by them among the first comers,and ordered the auctioneers to announce the lowest possible price for everything,both on account of the uncertainty and danger of the lawsuits still pending,and on account of his own haste;all of which acts brought him sympathy as one undeserving of such treatment. When in addition to what he had received as Caesar's heir,he offered for sale his own property derived from his father Octavius,and whatever he had from other sources,and all that belonged to his mother and to Philippus,and the share of Pedius and Pinarius which he begged from them, in order to make the distribution to the people (because in consequence of the litigation Caesar's property was not sufficient even for this purpose), then the people considered it no longer the gift of the elder Caesar, but of the younger one, and they commiserated him deeply and praised him both for what he endured and for what he aspired to be. It was evident that they would not long tolerate the insult that Antony was doing him.
