[7] The Cincian law, of which I shall have to speak again, forbade
Roman advocates to take any payment for their services. Cicero
expressly declares that he has always obeyed that law. He accused
others of disobeying it, as, for instance, Hortensius. But no
contemporary has accused him. Mr. Collins refers to some books which
had been given to Cicero by his friend Poetus. They are mentioned in a
letter to Atticus, lib. i., 20; and Cicero, joking, says that he has
consulted Cincius--perhaps some descendant of him who made the law 145
years before--as to the legality of accepting the present. But we have
no reason for supposing that he had ever acted as an advocate for
Poetus.
