De provinciis consularibus

Cicero supported the proposal of the consular Publius Servilius Vatia Isauricus, consul in 79, who had suggested the assignment of Syria and Macedonia (De prov. 3). In this way, Caesar could have continued to exercise the proconsulate on the Gaul.

In Vatinium testem

Regarding the dating, the oration was pronounced while the trial against Sestius took place, between 10 February (Q. fr. 2, 3, 5: A. d. IIII Id. Febr. Sestius ab indice Cn. Nerio Pupinia de ambitu est postulatus et eodem die a quodam M. Tullio de vi. Is erat aeger. Domum, ut debuimus, ad eum statim venimus eique nos totos tradidimus) and 11-14 March (Q. fr. 2, 4, 1: Sestius noster absolutus est a. d. II Id. Mart. [according to other altri mss. V Id. Mart.] et, quod vehementer interfuit rei publicae, nullam videri in eius modi causa dissensionem esse, omnibus sententiis absolutus est).
