Consulem autem C. Marium Praenestinae obsidionis miserabilem exitum sortitum, cuniculi latebris frustra euadere conatum leuique uulnere a Telesino, cum quo conmori destinauerat, perstrictum seruus suus, ut Sullanae crudelitatis expertem faceret, gladio traiectum interemit, cum magna praemia sibi proposita uideret, si eum uictoribus tradidisset. cuius dexterae tam opportunum ministerium nihil eorum pietati cedit, a quibus salus dominorum protecta est, quia eo tempore Mario non uita, sed mors in beneficio reposita erat.
