Hoc parricidium cum diu volutassent, Nabarzanes, aditum nefariae spei praeparans: Scio me, inquit, sententiam esse dicturum prima specie haudquaquam auribus tuis gratam; sed medici quoque graviores morbos asperis remediis curant, et gubernator, ubi naufragium timet, iactura quidquid servari potest redimit.
