Initium coniurationi non a cupidine ipsius fuit: nec
tamen facile memoraverim quis primus auctor, cuius instinctu concitum sit quod tam multi sumpserunt. promptissimos Subrium Flavum tribunum praetoriae cohortis et
Sulpicium Asprum centurionem extitisse constantia exitus
docuit; et Lucanus Annaeus Plautiusque Lateranus vivida
odia intulere. Lucanum propriae causae accendebant,
quod famam carminum eius premebat Nero prohibueratque ostentare, vanus adsimulatione: Lateranum consulem
designatum nulla iniuria sed amor rei publicae sociavit.
at Flavius Scaevinus et Afranius Quintianus, uterque senatorii ordinis, contra famam sui principium tanti facinoris
capessivere: nam Scaevino dissoluta luxu mens et proinde
vita somno languida; Quintianus mollitia corporis infamis
et a Nerone probroso carmine diffamatus contumeliam
ultum ibat.
