L. quoque Petronius huiusce laudis consortionem merito uindicat: paria enim in cultu amicitiae auso par gloriae portio adserenda est. admodum humili loco natus ad equestrem ordinem et splendidae militiae stipendia P. Caeli beneficio peruenerat. cui gratum animum, quia laeta in materia exhibere non contigerat, in ea, quam inicam fortuna esse uoluit, cum multa fide praestitit. erat ob Octauio consule Placentiae praepositus Caelius. qua a Cinnano exercitu capta et senior iam et graui ualitudine adfectus, ne in potestatem hostium ueniret, ad auxilium dexterae Petroni confugit. quem is ab incepto consilio frustra conatus abstrahere in isdem perseuerantem precibus interemit caedique eius suam iunxit, ne eo iacente, per quem omnia dignitatis incrementa adsecutus fuerat, superesset. ita alterius fato uerecundia, alterius pietas causam praebuit.
