C. Marii vestigia ubique L. Sulla certamine laudis subsequitur: dictator enim privato [et] Pompeio et caput adaperuit et sella adsurrexit et equo descendit, eaque se libenter facere in contione praedicavit, memor ab eo duodeviginti annis nato partes suas exercitu paterno adiutas.
Everywhere L. Sulla treads upon the footsteps of C. Marius in rivalry of glory. As Dictator he always uncovered his head and rose from his chair and dismounted from his horse before Cn. Pompeius, who was still a private citizen, and stated openly at a public meeting that he did this gladly, remembering that Pompey at eighteen years of age had brought his fathers army to aid the Sullan cause.
