 The son of Q. Valerius Soranus is thought to have been the Quintus Valerius Orca who was praetor in 57 BC.Orca had worked for Cicero's return to public life and is among Cicero's correspondents in the "Epistulae ad familiares" ("Letters to Friends and Family").Cicero presents the Valerii brothers of Sora as well schooled in Greek and Latin literature, but less admirable for their speaking ability.
