In eodem nomine uersor necdum Corneliae gentis querellas exhausi: namque P. Lentulus clarissimus et amantissimus rei publicae ciuis, cum in Auentino C. Gracchi nefarios conatus et aciem pia ac forti pugna magnis uulneribus exceptis fugasset, proelii illius, quo leges, pacem libertatemque in suo statu retinuerat, hanc mercedem tulit ne in urbe nostra moreretur: si quidem inuidia et obtrectatione conpulsus legatione a senatu libera impetrata habitaque contione, qua a dis inmortalibus petiit ne umquam ad ingratum populum reuerteretur, in Siciliam profectus est ibique perseueranter morando compotem se uoti fecit. quinque igitur deinceps Cornelii totidem sunt notissima ingratae patriae exempla.
