Crassum casus acerbitate Q. Caepio praecucurrit: is namque, praeturae splendore, triumphi claritate, consulatus decore, maximi pontificis sacerdotio ut senatus patronus diceretur adsecutus, in publicis vinculis spiritum deposuit, corpusque eius funesti<s> carnificis manibus laceratum in scalis Gemoniis iacens magno cum horrore totius fori Romani conspectum est.
Q. Caepio surpassed Crassus in the harshness of his lot. By the distinction of his Praetorship, the brilliance of his triumph, the glory of his Consulship, the priesthood of Chief Pontiff, he won the title of Protector of the senate. But he breathed his last in public bonds and his body, torn by the dire hands of an executioner, was seen lying on the Gemonian Steps to the great consternation of the whole Roman Forum.
