Ita bacchantem atque grassantem non defuit plerisque animus adoriri. sed una atque altera conspiratione detecta, aliis per inopiam occasionis cunctantibus, duo consilium communicauerunt perfeceruntque, non sine conscientia potentissimorum libertorum praefectorumque praetori; quod ipsi quoque etsi falso in quadam coniuratione quasi participes nominati, suspectos tamen se et inuisos sentiebant. nam et statim seductis magnam fecit inuidiam destricto gladio affirmans sponte se periturum, si et illis morte dignus uideretur, nec cessauit ex eo criminari alterum alteri atque inter se omnis committere.
