    • Chosen, not allotted, he served under Pompey in Spain (Cic. Att. 6.6.4; Fam. 2.15.4; Bell. Alex. 48.1; 50.1; Dio 41.24.2). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Quaestor under Pompey, selected sine sorte (MRR 2.236, in 52). The comparison in Cic. Att. 6.6.4, with Caesar's selection of M. Antonius sine sorte refers only to method without implying the same date; hence the quaestorship of Cassius may be dated in any year between the Lex Trebonia in 55 and 51, when Cassius returned to Rome, and may well have been under threat of prosecution for extortion, as his record in 49 and 48, again in Spain, suggests (Cic. Fam. 15.14.4, October 51, to C. Cassius, mentioning onera; Att. 5.20.8; cf. Shackleton Bailey, CLA 3.230-231; on his record, Bell. Alex. 48.1, 50.1; and on his quaestorship, see Linderski, CPh 70, 1975, 37-38). On his coinage, in MRR 2.435, refer also to Crawford, RRC 1.452, no. 428, 55 B.C. (Broughton MRR III)
