Intererat consiliis frater eius L. Vitellius seque iam
adulantibus offerebat, cum repente Coenus libertus Neronis
atroci mendacio universos perculit, adfirmans superventu
quartae decimae legionis, iunctis a Brixello viribus, caesos
victores; versam partium fortunam. causa fingendi fuit ut
diplomata Othonis, quae neglegebantur, laetiore nuntio revalescerent. et Coenus quidem raptim in urbem vectus paucos
post dies iussu Vitellii poenas luit: senatorum periculum
auctum credentibus Othonianis militibus vera esse quae adferebantur. intendebat formidinem quod publici consilii facie
discessum Mutina desertaeque partes forent. nec ultra in
commune congressi sibi quisque consuluere, donec missae a
Fabio Valente epistulae demerent metum. et mors Othonis
quo laudabilior eo velocius audita.
