Hist. 2.63.1Exercitum itinere terrestrī pergere iubet: ipse Arare flūmine dēvehitur, nūllō prīncipālī parātū, sed vetere egestāte cōnspicuus, dōnec Iūnius Blaesus Lugudūnēnsis Galliae rēctor, genere inlūstrī, largus animō et pār opibus, circumdaret prīncipī ministeria, comitārētur līberāliter, eō ipsō ingrātus, quamvīs odium Vitellius vernīlibus blanditiīs vēlāret.He ordered the army to proceed by the land route: he himself was carried down the river Arar, with no imperial equipage, but conspicuous for his old poverty, until Junius Blaesus, governor of Gallia Lugdunensis, of illustrious family, generous in spirit and with wealth to match, surrounded the emperor with attendants and escorted him liberally, and for that very reason was disliked, though Vitellius veiled his hatred with servile flatteries.
