L. Gellius omnibus honoribus ad censuram defunctus, cum grauissima crimina de filio, in nouercam conmissum stuprum et parricidium cogitatum, propemodum explorata haberet, non tamen ad uindictam continuo procucurrit, sed paene uniuerso senatu adhibito in consilium expositis suspicionibus defendendi se adulescenti potestatem fecit inspectaque diligentissime causa absoluit eum cum consilii tum etiam sua sententia. quod si impetu irae abstractus saeuire festinasset, admisisset magis scelus quam uindicasset.
