Sed Tiberius gratis agenti Silano patribus coram respondit se quoque laetari quod frater eius e peregrinatione longinqua revertisset, idque iure licitum quia non senatus consulto, non lege pulsus foret; sibi tamen adversus eum integras parentis sui offensiones neque reditu Silani dissoluta quae Augustus voluisset.
Even so, while Silanus was expressing his gratitude before the senate, Tiberius replied that he also was glad that his brother had returned from his distant pilgrimage: he had an indefeasible right to do so, as he had been exiled neither by resolution of the senate nor by form of law. At the same time, he retained his fathers objections to him intact; and the repatriation of Silanus had not cancelled the wishes of Augustus.
