en quibus actis felicitatis nomen adserendum putavit! Cuius tamen crudelitatis C.Marius invidiam levat nam et ille nimia cupiditate persequendi inimicos iram suam nefarie destrinxit, C. Caesaris consularis et censorii nobilissimum corpus ignobili saevitia trucidando, et quidem apud seditiosissimi et abiectissimi hominis bustum: id enim malorum miserrimae tunc rei publicae deerat, ut Vario Caesar piaculo caderet.
Such were the acts by which he thought it proper to claim the name of Fortunate. However, the hatred we feel for his cruelty is mitigated by C. Marius. For he too wreaked his wrath wickedly in his overeagerness to pursue his enemies, butchering with ignoble ferocity the noble body of C. Caesar, ex-Consul and ex-Censor, and that at the tomb of a thoroughly base and seditious individual. For only this calamity was then wanting to the hapless commonwealth, that Caesar should fall as an expiatory offering to Varius.
