Manius Acilius, the conqueror of Antiochus and the Aetolians, proposed a resolution which the senate adopted, namely that the envoys should be ordered to quit the City that day and to leave Italy within a fortnight.
At last Glabrio, mainly with the object of creating odium against him, gave out that he was abandoning his candidature since a competitor who was as much a "new man" as himself, and therefore the object of silent indignation amongst the nobility, was defaming him by perjured evidence.

Although the cruelty and rapacity of Verres were notorious, yet his relations to the Roman nobility insured him of strong support: not only Hortensius, but Curio, a man of excellent reputation, with members of the eminent families of Scipio and Metellus, stood firmly by him.
Caecilium) was therefore a preliminary argument before the praetor Glabrio in person, to show that he, rather than Caecilius, should be allowed to conduct the case.
