Sed quem ad modum splendor amplissimorum uirorum in protegendis reis plurimum ualuit, ita in opprimendis non sane multum potuit: quin etiam euidenter noxiis, dum eos acrius inpugnat, profuit. P. Scipio Aemilianus Cottam apud populum accusauit. cuius causa, quamquam grauissimis criminibus erat confossa, septies ampliata et ad ultimum octauo iudicio absoluta est, quia homines uerebantur ne praecipuae accusatoris amplitudini damnatio eius donata existimaretur. quos haec secum locutos crediderim: 'nolumus caput alterius petentem in iudicium triumphos et tropaea spoliaque et deuictarum nauium rostra deferre: terribilis sit his aduersus hostem, ciuis uero salutem tanto fragore gloriae subnixus ne insequatur'.
Valerius Maximus. Factorvm et Dictorvm Memorabilivm, Libri Novem. Karl Friedrich Kempf. Leipsig. Teubner. 1888. Keyboarding.
