C. etiam Pisonem mirifice et constanter turbulento rei publicae statu egisse consulem narratione insequenti patebit. M. Palicani seditiosissimi hominis pestiferis blanditiis praereptus populi fauor consularibus comitiis summum dedecus admittere conabatur amplissimum ei deferre imperium cupiens, cuius taeterrimis actis exquisitum potius supplicium quam ullus honos debebatur. nec deerat consternatae multitudini furialis fax tribunicia, quae temeritatem eius et ruentem comitaretur et languentem actionibus suis inflammaret. in hoc miserando pariter atque erubescendo statu ciuitatis tantum non manibus tribunorum pro rostris Piso conlocatus, cum hinc atque illinc ambissent ac Palicanum num suffragiis populi consulem creatum renuntiaturus esset interrogaretur, primo respondit non existimare se tantis tenebris offusam esse rem publicam, ut huc indignitatis ueniretur. deinde, cum perseueranter instarent ac dicerent 'age, si uentum fuerit?' 'non renuntiabo' inquit. quo quidem tam absciso responso consulatum Palicano prius quam illum adipisceretur eripuit. multa et terribilia Piso contempsit, dum speciosum mentis suae flecti non uolt rigorem.
