Quam longa nobis cum modestia tua pugna, quam tarde vicimus! Nomen illud, quod alii primo statim principatus die ut imperatoris et Caesaris receperunt, tu usque eo distulisti, donec tu quoque, beneficiorum tuorum parcissimus aestimator, iam te mereri fatereris.
and it was only after a prolonged struggle between us and your modesty that in the end you were persuaded. Others accepted that title from the start along with that of Emperor and Caesar, on the first day of their principate, but you waved it away until even in your own grudging estimate of your services, you had to admit it was your due.
