Ὡς δὲ Ῥουτίλιος ἱστορεῖ, τὰ μὲν ἄλλα φιλαλήθης ἀνὴρ καὶ χρηστὸς, ἰδίᾳ δὲ τῷ Μαρίῳ προσκεκρουκὼς, καὶ τῆς ἕκτης ἔτυχεν ὑπατείας, ἀργύριον εἰς τὰς φυλὰς καταβαλὼν πολὺ, καὶ πριάμενος τὸν Μέτελλον ἐκκροῦσαι τῆς ἀρχῆς, Οὐαλέριον δὲ Φλάκκον ὑπηρέτην μᾶλλον ἢ συνάρχοντα τῆς ὑπατείας λαβεῖν. Πομπήιον, οὗ τὸν πατέρα παμπόνηρον ἀπέδειξεν ὁ Ῥουτίλιος ἐν ταῖς Ἱστορίαις. Διαβόητος δ ̓ ἦν παρὰ Ῥωμαίοις καὶ Σίττιος ἐπὶ τρυφῇ καὶ μαλακίᾳ, ὥς φησι Ῥουτίλιος.
