Hist. 1.40.1Iam exterritus Pīsō fremitū crēbrēscentis sēditiōnis et vōcibus in urbem ūsque resonantibus, ēgressum interim Galbam et forō adpropinquantem adsecūtus erat;By now Piso, alarmed by the din of the spreading mutiny and by the shouts that echoed right into the city, had caught up with Galba, who had meanwhile gone out and was approaching the forum; Hist. 1.40.1iam Marius Celsus haud laeta rettulerat, cum aliī in Palātium redīre, aliī Capitōlium petere, plērīque rōstra occupanda cēnsērent, plūrēs tantum sententiīs aliōrum contrā dīcerent, utque ēvenit in cōnsiliīs īnfēlīcibus, optima vidērentur quōrum tempus effūgerat.by now Marius Celsus had brought back no happy news, while some advised returning to the Palatium, others making for the Capitol, most seizing the rostra, and more merely contradicted the opinions of others, and, as happens in ill-fated deliberations, the best course seemed to be the one whose time had passed. Hist. 1.40.1Agitāsse Lacō ignārō Galba dē occīdendō Titō Vīniō dīcitur, sīve ut poena eius animōs mīlitum mulcēret, seu cōnscium Othōnis crēdēbat, ad postrēmum vel odiō.Laco is said to have considered killing Titus Vinius without Galba's knowledge, whether to soothe the soldiers' feelings by his punishment, or because he believed him Otho's accomplice, or finally even out of hatred.
Hist. 1.40.1Haesitātiōnem attulit tempus ac locus, quia initiō caedis ortō difficilis modus;The time and the place made him hesitate, because once slaughter has begun it is hard to set a limit; Hist. 1.40.1et turbāvēre cōnsilium trepidī nūntiī ac proximōrum diffugia, languentibus omnium studiīs quī prīmō alacrēs fidem atque animum ostentāverant.and his plan was thrown into confusion by alarming messages and the scattering of those around him, as the zeal of all was failing who at first had eagerly displayed their loyalty and courage.
