Inhaerent uni voci posterioris Africani septem C. Marii consulatus ac duo amplissimi triumphi: ad rogum enim usque gaudio exsultavit quod cum apud Numantiam sub eo duce equestria stipendia mereret, et forte inter cenam quidam Scipionem interrogasset, si quid illi accidisset, quemnam res publica aeque magnum habitura esset imperatorem, respiciens se supra ipsum cubantem vel hunc dixerit
