Multo animosius et ut militari spiritu dignum erat se in consimili genere iudicii C. Marius gessit: nam cum C. Titinius Minturnensis Fanniam uxorem, quam impudicam de industria duxerat, eo crimine repudiatam dote spoliare conaretur, sumptus inter eos iudex, in conspectu habita quaestione, seductum Titinium monuit ut incepto desisteret ac mulieri dotem redderet.
In a similar sort of trial C. Marius comported himself with much more vigour, as befitted his military spirit. C. Titinius of Minturnae had divorced his wife Fannia, of whose unchastity he was aware when he married her, on that ground and was trying to strip her of her dowry. Marius was taken as arbiter between them and the hearing was held in public. Drawing Titinius aside, Marius warned him to give up his attempt and return the dowry to the woman.
