Vniversa iam plebs Palatium implebat, mixtis servitiis et dissono clamore caedem Othonis et coniuratorum exitium poscentium ut si in circo aut theatro ludicrum aliquod
postularent: neque illis iudicium aut veritas, quippe eodem
die diversa pari certamine postulaturis, sed tradito more
quemcumque principem adulandi licentia adclamationum et
studiis inanibus.
Interim Galbam duae sententiae distinebant: Titus Vinius
manendum intra domum, opponenda servitia, firmandos aditus, non eundum ad iratos censebat: daret malorum paenitentiae, daret bonorum consensui spatium: scelera impetu,
bona consilia mora valescere, denique eundi ultro, si ratio
sit, eandem mox facultatem, regressum, si paeniteat, in aliena
potestate.
