magna cum invidia Fortuna praetoriis comitiis Africani superioris filium Cn. Scipionem et scribam C. Cicereium in campum deduxerat, utque nimis impotens sermone vulgi carpebatur, quod tanti viri sanguinem clientelamque comitiali certamine confuderat.
Fortune was much blamed for bringing Cn. Scipio, son of Africanus the elder, and the scribe C. Cicereius onto the Campus at the praetorian elections. In the talk of the common folk she was criticized as too unconscionable in confounding the blood and the clientele of so great a man in an electoral contest.
