Invidiosusne erat aut tibi tertius consulatus aut principi primus? Nam secundum imperator quidem, sub imperatore tamen inisti, nihilque imputare in eo vel honori potes vel exemplo nisi obsequium.
Should we have begrudged you a third consulship? Or a first one in your new capacity as our prince? You were in fact emperor when you entered your second one, but were still serving under another emperor, and could only claim credit by setting an example of obedience.
