AGRICOLA. 14741. Natus erat Agricola, Caio Caesare, tertium Onsulis, Idibus Iuniis excessit sexto et quinquagesimo anno, decimo Calendas Septembres, Collega Priscoque consulibus. Quod si habitum quoque ejus posteri noscere velint, decentior quam sublimior fuit nihil metus in vultu gratia oris supererat : bonum virum lacile crederes, magnum libenter. Et ipse quidem, quamquam medio in spatio integrae aetatis ereptus, quantum ad gloriam, longissimum aevum peregit. Quippe et Vera bona, quae in virtutibus sita sunt, impleverat; et consularibus ac triumphalibus ornamentis praedito, quid aliud adstruere fortuna poterat i opibus nimiis non gaudebat speciosae contigerant filia atque uxore superstitibus, potest videri etiam beatus, incolumi dignitate, florente fama, salvis adfinitatibus et amicitiis, futura effugisse. Nam sicuti durare in hac beatissimi saeculi luce ac Principem rajanum videre, quod augurio votisque apud o Stra aures ominabatur : ita festinatae mortis grande solatium tulit, evasisse postremum illud tempus, quo Domitianus non jam per intervalla ac spiramenta temporum, Sed continuo, et velut uno ictu, rempublicam exhausit. 45. Non vidit Agricola obsessam curiam, et clausum armis senatum, et eadem Strage tot consularium caedes, tot nobilissimarum foeminarum exilia et fugas.
