A statement by Pliny the Younger that his uncle was offered 400,000 sesterces for his manuscripts by Larcius Licinius while he (Pliny the Elder) was procurator of Hispania makes it the most certain of the three.
Et udsagn af Plinius den yngre om, at hans onkel blev tilbudt 400.000 sesterier for sine manuskripter af Larcius Licinius mens den ældre Plinius var prokurator af Hispania har fastslået denne position med sikkerhed.
