Pompey (22.2-22.3)

Pompey, moreover, was delighted, since he had long wanted an opportunity of doing him some service and kindness, and therefore granted his request readily and solicited the people in his behalf; announcing that he should be no less grateful to them for such a colleague than for the consulship.

Notwithstanding, after they had been elected consuls, they differed on all points, and were constantly in collision.[*] In the senate, Crassus had more weight; but among the people the power of Pompey was great. For he gave them back their tribunate, and suffered the courts of justice to be transferred again to the knights by law.[*] But the most agreeable of all spectacles was that which he afforded the people when he appeared in person and solicited his discharge from military service.
