FVLVI SPARSI. Tales fuerunt ex quibus posset alter tyrannum contemnere, alter occidere. IVLI BASSI. Conpressas fili manus in os meum inpegi, caedentem consolatus sum. Porci Latronis. “Caede, inquit, patrem:” dum ego neglegens sum occupauit praecipitare se ex arce filius. hoc non est patri parcere sed sibi. Dura, fili; ad tyrannum tibi per patrem eundum est. Tenent ecce cruentum tyranni caput; nunc illas praecidite. Blandi.
