Otho interim contra spem omnium non deliciis neque
desidia torpescere: dilatae voluptates, dissimulata luxuria
et cuncta ad decorem imperii composita, eoque plus formidinis adferebant falsae virtutes et vitia reditura. Marium
Celsum consulem designatum, per speciem vinculorum saevitiae militum subtractum, acciri in Capitolium iubet; clementiae titulus e viro claro et partibus inviso petebatur. Celsus
constanter servatae erga Galbam fidei crimen confessus,
exemplum ultro imputavit. nec Otho quasi ignosceret sed
deos testis mutuae reconciliationis adhibens, statim inter
intimos amicos habuit et mox bello inter duces delegit, mansitque Celso velut fataliter etiam pro Othone fides integra
et infelix. laeta primoribus civitatis, celebrata in vulgus
Celsi salus ne militibus quidem ingrata fuit, eandem virtutem
admirantibus cui irascebantur.
