| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| tunc scrobem coram fieri imperavit dimensus ad corporis sui modulum, componique simul, si qua invenirentur, frusta marmoris et aquam simul ac ligna conferri | Then he ordered a grave to be made in front of him, measured to the size of his own body, and for pieces of marble, if any could be found, to be placed together and for water and wood to be brought at the same time |
| curando mox cadaveri, flens ad singula atque indentidem dictitans: "qualis artifex pereo!" ferrum iugulo adegit iuvante Epaphrodito a libellis. | soon for the care of his body, weeping at each thing and repeatedly saying: "As what an artist I die!" He drove a sword to his throat, with the help of Epaphroditus, his secretary. |
| semianimisque adhuc irrumpenti centurioni et paenula ad vulnus adposita in auxilium se venisse simulanti non aliud respondit quam: "sero" et "haec est fides." | And still half alive, when a centurion burst in and having applied a cloak to his wound, pretending that he had come to help, he replied to him nothing other than: "Too late" and "this is loyalty." |
| atque in ea voce defecit, extantibus rigentibusque oculis usque ad horrorem formidinemque visentium. | And in this utterance he died, with his eyes bulging and lifeless so much to the horror and fear of those seeing it. |
| nihil prius aut magis a comitibus exegerat quam ne potestas cuiquam capitis sui fieret, sed ut quoquo modo totus cremaretur. | Before he had demanded nothing more from his companions than non-one have possession of his head, but he should be cremated whole in whatever way. |
| permisit hoc Icelus, Galbae libertus, non multo ante vinculis exolutus, in quae primo tumultu coniectus fuerat. | Icelus, the freedman of Galba, allowed this, who was not long before released from chains, into which he had been thrown at the first revolt. |
