Alia nobilitas, alius furor, sed fidei par exemplum. Pindarus C. Cassium Philippensi proelio uictum, nuper ab eo manu missus, iussu ipsius obtruncatum insultationi hostium subtraxit seque e conspectu hominum uoluntaria morte abstulit ita, ut ne corpus quidem eius absumpti inueniretur. quis deorum grauissimi sceleris ultor illam dexteram, quae in necem patriae parentis exarserat, tanto torpore inligauit, ut se tremibunda Pindari genibus summitteret, ne publici parricidii quas merebatur poenas arbitrio piae uictoriae exsolueret? tu profecto tunc, diue Iuli, caelestibus tuis uulneribus debitam exegisti uindictam, perfidum erga te caput sordidi auxilii supplex fieri cogendo, eo animi aestu conpulsum, ut neque retinere uitam uellet neque finire sua manu auderet.
Valerius Maximus. Factorvm et Dictorvm Memorabilivm, Libri Novem. Karl Friedrich Kempf. Leipsig. Teubner. 1888. Keyboarding.
