[sect. 2]
cum Pompeio: cf. Ep. XXXI.3n.
tantum habeto: cf. Ep. XXVI.1n
quare crede: these words form a hexameter verse, which may be accidental, as Bckel thinks, but it has the appearance of being a quotation, and is ascribed by L. Muller (p.160) to Lucilius. For similar expressions, cf. Att. 7.12.3; da te hodie mihi, Ter. Ad. 838.
mihi crede: cf. Ep. XXVII.1n.
fili: i.e. Pompeio.
