		Atticus' sister was married to Quintus Tullius Cicero; the marriage was arranged by Marcus Cicero, with whom Atticus lived on very close terms ever since they were students together, indeed much more intimately than with Quintus, which shows that similarity of character carries more weight in friendship than ties of blood.
		He would not even consent to go with Quintus Cicero to Asia, though he might have obtained the post of legate [lieutenant-governor] on his staff, for he said that it was not appropriate, after he had refused to hold a praetorship [governorship], to be a praetor's assistant.

		Cato answered, that he loved Hortensius very well, and much approved of uniting their houses, but he thought it strange to speak of marrying his daughter, when she was already given to another.

		So, Marcus Brutus became officially Quintus Caepio on the census lists when his uncle adopted him; but no one thought of turning the bearer of the most famous name in Rome into a man of another name, even though he was scarcely twenty-five and even though the Caepios were of ancient nobility.

		It may be of interest that Picander quotes from this same Epistle in the PT to BWV 193a.
		In the second variant in the OP "Birolius" appears to be a clever anagram for "Orbilius." The names Hortensius and Orbilius are associated with the kind of stylistic controversy which must lie behind the Picander-Bach satire.
