398. 3 Cic. in Verr. Act i. 14 ; cf. iii. 19, sub fin. Digitized by Google THE GOVERNOR 83 says that he expects deputations to the Senate to beg for their abolition.^ In any case it was well understood that a man did not expatriate himself from the pleasures of Rome for nothing 2; to get a province was the recognised means of setting a bankrupt on his legs again.* So regular were the extortions of the governor, that when Cicero was eccentric enough to abstain from them, the grateful people of S...alamis told him that they had been able to pay their debts with * the praetor's fund,'* with the money, that is to say, which had hitherto been yearly laid aside to con- ciliate their master's good-will. And even if the governor was himself well-intentioned, it was very difficult for him to resist the importunities of his dependents and ac- quaintances. The comites for instance came to the province to make money, and would regard any unusual rectitude or honesty in the governor as an eccentricity mischievous to their interests.
