Nihil ad veterem et patriciam Sulpiciorum familiam Quirinius pertinuit, ortus apud municipium Lanuvium; sed impiger militiae et acribus ministeviis consulatum sub divo Augusto, mox expugnatis super Ciliciam Homonadensium castellis insignia triumphi adeptus, datusque rector C. Caesari Armeniam obtinenti.
With the old patrician family of the Sulpicii Quirinius'who sprang from the municipality of Lanuvium'had no connection; but as an intrepid soldier and an active servant he won a consulate under the deified Augustus, and, a little later, by capturing the Homonadensian strongholds beyond the Cilician frontier, earned the insignia of triumph. After his appointment, again, as adviser to Gaius Caesar during his command in Armenia, he had shown himself no less attentive to Tiberius, who was then residing in Rhodes.
