Duas eius urbanas res praeterire non possum. Secutus erat in prouinciam Cretam Occium Flammam proconsulem. Graeci coeperunt in theatro postulare ut Sabinus maximum magistratum gereret. mos autem est barbam ac capillum magistratui Cretensium summittere. surrexit Sabinus et silentium manu fecit, deinde ait: hunc magistratum ego Romae bis gessi. bis causam dixerat. Graeci non intellexerunt, sed bene precati Caesari petebant ut honorem Sabinus et tertio gereret.
