[14] quo quidem in bello semper de pace audiendum¹ putavi semperque dolui non modo pacem sed etiam orationem civium pacem flagitantium repudiari. neque enim ego illa nec ulla umquam secutus sum arma civilia semperque mea consilia pacis et togae socia, non belli atque armorum fuerunt. hominem sum secutus privato officio, non publico, tantumque apud me grati animi fidelis memoria valuit ut nulla non modo cupiditate sed ne spe quidem prudens et sciens tamquam ad interitum ruerem voluntarium.

Commentary

Commentary on The Pardon of Marcellus (Select Orations of Cicero (Allen and Greenough's Edition). Greenough, James Bradstreet; Kittredge, George Lyman, editors. Boston, London: Ginn & Company, 1897.) focus

Ilagitantium : before the outbreak of the Civil War, Caesar sent C. Curio (son of C. Curio, Verr. 1, sect. 18 ) to Rome with offers of compromise, which were spurned by the Senate. 218.18

hominem (emphat.), the man (Pompey), not his measures.

consilio , reasons. 218.19

grati animi : at the time of Cicero's recall, Pompey interested himself to go in person to several of the Italian towns to encourage the general feeling in his favor, and so atoned in part for the tardiness of his support and his earlier hesitating, cold, and ungracious course.
