      name is recorded chiefly in consequence of a laugh being raised against him on account of his
      deformity by C. Julius Caesar Strabo [<hi rend="smallcaps">CAESAR</hi>, No. 10], who was
      opposed to him on one occasion in some law-suit. (<bibl n="Cic. de Orat. 2.66">Cic. de Orat.

      the person who raised the laugh against Mancia.) Cicero further relates a smart saying of
      Mancia on another occasion (<hi rend="ital">de Orat.</hi> 2.68).</p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
