Quintus Asconius Pedianus, Commentarii [Pro Milone] 33C (ca. A.D. 40): Domus quoque M. Lepidi interregis—is enim magistratus curulis erat creatus—et absentis Milonis eadem illa Clodiana multitudo oppugnavit, sed inde sagittis repulsa est. Tum fasces ex luco Libitinae raptos attulit ad domum Scipionis et Hypsaei, deinde ad hortos Cn. Pompeii, clamitans eum modo consulem, modo dictatorem. Furthermore the crowd attacked the homes of Milo (who was away) and of the interrex Marcus Lepidus (who had eventually been appointed to this office), but they were driven back with arrows. Then they grabbed the axes from the grove of Libitina and brought them to Scipio's house and to Hypsaeus', and then to Pompeius' garden villa, calling upon him variously as consul and as dictator.
