pecuniam pro captivis Hannibali numeraverat: fraudatus ea publice tacuit; dictatori ei magistrum equitum Minucium iure imperii senatus aequaverat: silentium egit; compluribus praeterea iniuriis lacessitus in eodem animi habitu mansit, nec umquam sibi rei publicae permisit irasci.
He had paid money to Hannibal on behalf of prisoners and was publicly cheated of that money: he was silent. The senate had made Master of Horse Minucius equal in magisterial power to him, the Dictator: he held his peace. Provoked by a number of other slights, he remained in the same frame of mind and never permitted himself to be angry with the commonwealth.
