is namque, etsi Neronis odio ardens in exsilium profectus fuerat, testimonio eius praecipue adflictus, tamen postquam eum inde revocatum cives collegam illi in consulatu dederunt, et ingenii sui, quod erat acerrimum, et iniuriae, quam gravissimam acceperat, oblivisci sibi imperavit, ne si dissidente animo consortionem imperii usurpare voluisset, pertinacem exhibendo inimicum malum consulem ageret.
He had gone into exile burning with hatred for Nero, by whose testimony he had been especially damaged. But after he was recalled and his countrymen gave him to Nero as his colleague in the Consulship, he prevailed upon himself to forget his own disposition, which was of the harshest, and the injury he had received, which was of the gravest. For if he shared authority with a colleague with whom he was at loggerheads, he feared that in showing himself a determined enemy he would be behaving like a bad Consul.
