There are passages in Greek, in two letters written about this time to Atticus, which refer to the matter from which probably arose his quarrel with his wife, and her divorce. He makes no direct allusion to his wife, but only to a freedman of hers, Philotomus. When Milo was convicted, his goods were confiscated and sold as a part of his punishment.
There is some money to be looked for a legacy which had been left to him. He gives express directions as to the persons to be employed respecting this, omitting the name of that Philotomus as to whose honesty he is afraid. He calls his wife "suavissima et optatissima Terentia," but he does not write to her with the true love which was expressed by his letters when in exile.
Philotomus is supposed to have been a purchaser, and to have made money out of the transaction taking advantage of his position to acquire cheap bargains as should not have been done by any one connected with Cicero, who had been Milo's friend.
