6 1 At Galba, haud secus nobilis e gente clarissima Sulpiciorum, ubi Romam ingressus est, quasi luxuriae aut etiam crudelitati auxilio ventitavisset, rapere trahere vexare ac foedum in modum vastare cuncta et polluere. 2 Quia rebus intestabilior (dum gravius offendunt, quos mollius consultaturos spes erat), simul quia opes militum nimis pecuniae cupidus attenuaverat, Othone auctore interficitur; qui praelatum adoptione eius Pisonem impatientius dolens accensas cohortes armatasque in forum deduxerat. 3 Quo cum lorica tectus Galba tumultum leniturus contenderet, ad lacum Curtium caesus est mense imperii ac die septimo.
