Caede Messalinae convulsa principis domus, orto apud
libertos certamine, quis deligeret uxorem Claudio, caelibis
vitae intoleranti et coniugum imperiis obnoxio. nec minore
ambitu feminae exarserant: suam quaeque nobilitatem
formam opes contendere ac digna tanto matrimonio ostentare.
sed maxime ambigebatur inter Lolliam Paulinam M. Lollii
consularis et Iuliam Agrippinam Germanico genitam: huic
Pallas, illi Callistus fautores aderant; at Aelia Paetina
e familia Tuberonum Narcisso fovebatur. ipse huc modo,
modo illuc, ut quemque suadentium audierat, promptus,
discordantis in consilium vocat ac promere sententiam et
adicere rationes iubet.
