L. quoque Calpurnius Piso consul, cum in Sicilia bellum adversus fugitivos gereret et C. Titius equitum praefectus [fugitivorum] multitudine hostium circumventus arma iis tradidisset, his praefectum ignominiae generibus adfecit: iussit eum toga laciniis abscisis amictum, discinctaque tunica indutum, nudis pedibus a mane in noctem usque ad principia per omne tempus militiae adesse; interdixit etiam ei convictum hominum usumque balnearum, turmasque equitum quibus praefuerat ademptis equis in funditorum alas transcripsit.
Consul L. Calpurnius Piso also, when he was waging war in Sicily against the runaways and C. Titius, Prefect of cavalry, being surrounded by a large number of enemies, surrendered his arms to them, imposed the following forms of humiliation upon the Prefect. He ordered him to be on duty at headquarters throughout the period of his service from daybreak to nightfall, barefoot and dressed in a gown from which the fringes had been cut off and an ungirt tunic. He also forbade him human society and the use of baths, and deprived the squadrons of horse whom he had commanded of their mounts and transferred them to the units of slingers.
