Metellus vero Pius, pertinaci erga exsulem patrem amore tam clarum lacrimis quam alii victoriis cognomen adsecutus, non dubitavit consul pro Q. Calidio praeturae candidato supplicare populo, quod tribunus plebis legem qua pater eius in civitatem restitueretur tulerat.
Metellus Pius, who in his persevering love for his exiled father won by tears a surname as illustrious as others won by victories, did not scruple as Consul to beg the people on behalf of Q. Calidius, a candidate for the Praetorship, because as Tribune he had carried a law restoring his father to the community.
